no real suprises here. Crafty is really a cut above the rest (though Goliath comes close) .
One thing though, Crafty's time management is excellent, it tends to play faster in the earlier stages allowing it to out Blitz the other programs in the endgames ,many of it's wins are from equal/drawish,even losing endgame positions.
Crafty's opening books is set at Random 1, Width 5, altough i think it is recommended to cut width down to 2 , I find the wide range of play by Crafty interesting..It's espically deadly playing 1 f4! (Score 7.5/10 only Anmon caught it in a bad line once, and 1 draw each to Anmon and goliath)
Light Goliath is strong no doubt, but in my tests, Crafty tends to just beat it..
TCB showed that it reputation at Blitz is deserved coming in 3th.
Anmon505 just pipped CometB10 to 4th because of it's excellant score vers Crafty
Anmon scored 5.5/12 . The best result against Crafty..The next best was Goliath scoring 4.5/12
