[edit] ELO rating
You cannot just write "its ELO rating is about 2600." You need to state on which platform, using what kind of computer it can reach that performance. Ben T/C
[edit] Correction request(s)
- In the World Computer Chess Championships 2004 Crafty won the fourth place with same amount of points as the third place finisher, Fritz 8, despite running on stronger hardware than all other programs.
- is this praise or blame, or maybe just a typo? --Sigmundur 10:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Not Free Software
It is not easy to find, but Crafty is definitely not free software (or "open source"). If you download a copy of the source code and look in main.c you will find this notice,

I made the corrections to the article to clear this up. Thanks! --Mosquitopsu (talk) 15:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
