Ok, so the title is misleading. But I did think it would be interesting to hold 12 games Fritz 11 vs Crafty on my computer with a 4/0 time setting. I figured I'd post the games here. I thought maybe it would be a good learning experience to discuss the games between the two and see what the engines could have done differently.
I'll post 1 game/day, but I'll post the results as they come in...

Thanks.
1.) What was I doing wrong? I still can't figure out why mine was invalid.
2.) How did Crafty lose this game? At move 38 Crafty seems to be in complete control to me. I also don't understand 58 Rxa2 by Crafty.

Edits: I was experimenting on what you have to fix and apparently it doesn't like ANY spaces except between White's and Black's moves. Ie 1.e4 e5 and not 1. e4 e5
