This is an incredibly large and useless crafty.rc file . This one would behave exactly the same :
tbpath=C:\Tablebases
cache=32M
book off
ponder off
log=off
hash=128M
hashp=128M
With most reasonable time controls 128M for hash is really pretty tiny while hashp 128M will be overkill like always.
As you are definitely the ultimate power user, Graham, I wonder what kind of crafty.rc files others may be using ..

OK - I offer to explain the Crafty options for like a week and will try to explain what various options mean.

Please be a little careful not to waste your and my time. As far as I can see this is a link to a Jim(?) Ablett binary for a crafty WinBoard binary on a given Windows platform . If there is more to it, please be so kind and explain

I'm sorry I do not understand something. Please write whether it is the latest version of Crafty - yes or no.

Krzystof - if you want to set up Crafty on your computer for a match against another engine this is a "how-to" challenge. We can easily work out how to do this and I can help. Crafty will be weaker than Stockfish or latest Komodo, but it will be stronger than Kasparov.
Bob Hyatt doesn't like UCI - that is why Crafty don't talk UCI , just WinBard - like French or English.
Thank you for the information. I have a request to Mr. Robert - can you share the latest engine versions for Windows and answer the following question. Please write as may be the highest number of cache to the table base Nalimova.
