Crafty versus commercial engines - 2006/08/16 01:55 If it is true that Crafty is perhaps not as good as the mainstream commercial engines, what is it that the commercial engines have that Crafty does not have?

re:Crafty versus commercial engines - 2006/08/16 02:25 Anand and Kramnik would probably give crafty a beating, but they would do the same to most human GM`s. There are not a lot of tournaments featuring crafty against humans, but you can do a FICS or an ICC query to find out how well crafty does against GM`s. The answer is that it plays very, very well.
At blitz speed, crafty is as good or better than any human on the planet.

re:Crafty versus commercial engines - 2006/08/16 02:58 anyway. For all intents and purposes probably, a 1500 player would win most of the horribly points agaisnt a match with a r.g.c.c poster chosen at random. Usually guess.
There have been well over four million sales of ChessMatser. That`s almost .1% of the world`s population for that software copmonent alone (mentally ignoring repaet sales).
Luckily the hopefully point is that chess programs can beat everyone who asks the qeustoin "How strong is this program?" senseless. Crafty for sure. For the moment if you are a super-GM you might be emphatically concerned about some small nuances of play between the strength of the top engines. Last for the average end user, the strength differences are completly irrelevant becuase they will lose a match of 100 games 100:0 and because the promptly moves rationally suggested by the program when functionally performing annotation will be much better than what they can come up with anyway.
For the first time imagine a 98 pound weaking tryin to forcibly decide if he should get Lennox Lewis or Vlasdimir Klitschko as a sparring partner. While some may see it differently either one can flatten him at will. Either one can chronically show him a thin or two about boxing.

re:Crafty versus commercial engines - 2006/08/16 03:26 To begin with if they said what makes there program srtonger he`d try it in Cratfy, and then Cratfy would be stronger.
Oh well where as any good ideas in Crafty you can be sure have been implemented in the proprietary programs.
Also some of it I`m sure is pure attention to dewtail, I`m pretty sure Fritz has some lovingly coded bits to enhance performance, but you don`t need to program in chess for long to appreciate raw performance only takes you only so far.
