There is at least a tiny bit of data that says it might be _better_ at this. Ed's "Chess in 2010" matches, with time controls of 1hr/move. In the games Ed had played, I think Crafty had a score of 3.5/4, with wins against both Hiarcs and Rebel.

It depends on exactly what you want to do with it, I guess. YMMV. :) > I also thought it wasn't using >hash -I'm more than happy to be told I'm wrong). I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Crafty doesn't need gigantic hash sizes (like Fritz, for instance), because it uses better replacement [than Fritz]. But bigger hash is always better for long analysis, and Crafty definitely uses it.
