Funny but Crafty 17.3 on my machine has yet to lose a 16 game match to any of the other Winboard engines. Bob, is Crafty tested at any specific time control? I'm running at 40 moves in 20'. I'll download 17.4 and run a match against 17.3 Also do you think the Nunn test is a good indicator of engine strength? If not what is?
