I am pleasantly surprised!
I was expecting Movei to come out on top as it took an early lead
and still had that last time I looked (after round 20 or so).

Was there a reason behind using an older version of Crafty?

Yes - it needed more games on our rating list.
It's our aim to ensure that all engines get 200+ games.
