9 Nimzo 99 128MB K6-2 450 MHz 2623 40 -39 318 60% 2549


SO finally Crafty gets on the list and it's weaker by less than 100 SDF points than all the other commericals except Nimzo 99..
I wonder why did they choose to test Crafty using the Chess base native engine? Is it effectively similar to The Xboard-winboard versions? I own fritz as well and I find little difference between the 2...
