Crafty Classic 2004
November 15, 2004

Hello friends of Crafty  ....

Yes ,another release of the modified Crafty SE series, this one named Crafty
Classic 2004.  It is my interpretation of the "best of Crafty 19.XX" with a few wrinkles of my own.

Four new GM personalities with 4 new personality books!

GM Anand
GM Chigorin
GM Kranmik
GM Leko

As long as you play that these GMs have seen before, it will stay in book.
)Note: These books were auto-generated , and will not play the exact
percenatages of moves that the GM played in a given position.

This Crafty is differrent from past SE series,  I scoured the 19.XX sources 
-
leaving in (IMO) the best parts of Crafty to come up with a compilation of
Crafty 2004.  That is why there is no version # associated with this edition 
,
it is not based on any one Crafty source.

This exact same engine will soon be released for CEBoard by Alain Zanchetta.

CE Board is perhaps the most complete chess program for a PPC - allowing the
user to search for games by position.  The next release will have two Crafty
engines - Crafty 19.17 SE PB and thisrelease Crafty Classic.


Once again, a big thanks to Bob Htyatt for sharing Crafty with all us.

And Leo Dijksman's Winboard engine website : http://wbec-ridderkerk.nl/

The GM books are only available at Peter Skinner's site, they are already 
made -
just placed them in your Crafty book direcotry.  The exact same PC opening 
books
(*.bin files) will work on the PPC - there is no difference.

Best,

Michael Byrne
