I've seen many results like this posted to sugguest that Yace is not yet strong enough to match Crafty at 50% at long time controls..
But how about those lower down the chain, but still strong programs like Amy, Goliath and Anmon509? Could you run a few of those?
I would run them myself, but currently, I'm running a Blitz tournament(each match has 12 games) with 9 top engines including Yace, to convince myself that Yace belongs to the top ranked Blitz engines..And even with 2 rounds to go, Yace is in 2nd-3rd spot..

I'm not so sure about longer time controls..Next, I will probably try G30 2 games per match..Which will take as long as my current 12 G/5 games per match anyway..
