Crafty is anything but a slow program. Crafty is mostly in C. I would suggest that you take some time to download the latest Crafty at ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/ and also Winboard for an interface, you can find that at http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/personal/Tim_Mann/chess.html and play Crafty in Winboard and not a Chessbase interface because Crafty is hobbled by being used through Hiarcs. Pay attention to the FAQ, Doc, & txt files available at the Crafty site, download those first, and if you need help setting it up also see Frank's Winboard site at http://www.ginko.de/user/volker.pittlik/schach/winboard.htm or any of the other sites that help with the proceedure.
