Did you use the winboard adaptator to run crafty 17.04 ?
I tried this with the fritz demo version and i noticed this :
The crafty process is killed and run at each move.
You can verify this by configuring crafty with log ON.
It generates a new log file at each move.
I consider this is a _BIG_ handicap.
I am not sure it is the same with the engines delivered with the fritz product
(some does not use the winboard adapator ?).
However, crafty obtained (in my test) a very good score in blitz 4' with AMDK6-3
450 (+5,-5 and 1 draw).
Perhaps there is a way to configure fritz 6 to avoid running the process at each
move.
Fritz seems to analyze two plies deeper than crafty but crafty is very good in
the finals.
