Crafty 21-6 beating Crafty Classie 6-0. Is this a case of
new computer programs beating G.M players of old. :)

Why are you surprised that the current version of Crafty is beating a version from three years ago? If it had any chance, it was ruined by the use of a human personality.

I am not surprised that the current Crafty 21.7 is beating 21.6 by a good margin on in my testing.

A new version _should_ be better than the previous one. IMHO
I was kicked out of Chapters because I moved all the Bibles to the fiction section.

Right indeed, peter, that Tony Thomas website is back again. Can you possibly get it closed down? He has modified Toga without sources, and also few clones that are possibly Rybkas.

Thanks.
