I don't know... Comet has been very unpredictable for me. It scores very well
sometimes, and horribly others. I think it is a very strong program, but it has
some holes in its evaluation. Sometimes it will beat Crafty in a match, but then
lose to me! (And I'm awful!) Just an opinion however, I haven't really played
that many games with it. Maybe it is better than my first impression.
