hoary: crafty

[jmelton]

Thanks for the info. on Knights; will definitely have to check that
out.



I'm finding that I can hang in there with Crafty under the following
very limited conditions: 1) I'm playing an opening I'm really familiar
with; 2) I get one takeback; and 3) I only give Crafty 1 second per
move.  Anything less than that and it generally kills me.  But, hey, I
may as well brag about the one game I've gotten from it so far (and
save a record of it just in case Crafty crashes):
