Subject: Impressions: Crafty17 and LG2000 (new version)

In the meantime over 200 games with crafty 17 and
the latest lg2000ß are played on my pc s.
It seems that these two engines will get ratings
far ahead of the amateur-field. May be over 50 points.

OK, special conditions: fritz, no pondering and blitz-level.

But I am really surprised how strong these engines act
against commercials.
LG for ex. likes Nimzo732 very much and often beats him.
On the other hand it has absolutly no chance against Fritz.
Against Crafty it looks very equal.
Both played surprisingly well against junior5.

Also It looks like lg does not suffering very much under
the winboard-adapter (nevertheless it does).
Last night it has won a tournament in front of
fritz6, junior5 and crafty 17, k6-300, 4m2s, 5 rounds!

Not very relevant, but still impressive:
- only lg uses the wb-adapter, the others are natives!
- only lg plays without tablesbases

(original game-file with all evaluations available).

For tournament results, games and ratings please have a look
