Hi Tony,

What's was your hardware setup for the tournament?

There maybe a possibility that running the smp build of Crafty 21.6 on
a single-cpu computer may be degrading it's speed a tad.

Maybe better to use the single-cpu build in that case.

Crafty 21.6 win32 Intel Compiler 10 p.g.o (single-cpu)

OK, I will finish with the SMP build, and run the single CPU one to see how significant the strength change is. I am a crafty fanboi, so it wouldnt bother me much. I am using a Celeron D 2800 MHZ, 32MB hash for each engine, and my 1m+1sec time control.

[Jim Ablett]

It's ok Tony - false alarm. No difference in speed between the two builds on 1 cpu system.

Jim.

Thanks for the verification.

Crafty final results...This makes crafty the 23rd strongest single CPU engine. As you can see crafty is rather unpredictable here, always scoring better during the first half.

What news of Crafty? Do you have any more recent estimations of its playing strength?

Crafty played 120 games, and it is currently at the highest division. I cannot move it up any further, so no, no more new results until I start another edition. I posted the results on the 3rd, so I would like to assume that it is recent.
