Hello Ingo,
But there is a Monte-Carlo engine inside. Manually, I played a few test games against ManyFaces 12.022 which is the current commercial version of David Fotland. Giving approximately same times (which is difficult with CrazyStone, see above), CrazyStone seems to have (on "normal" dualcore PC's) the upper hand on 9x9 (1 game) and 19x19 (1 game). On 13x13, ManyFaces seems to be stronger (estimated from the flow of two games).
It looks reasonable. ManyFaces was the 13x13 winner in last Olympiad. It features moderate joseki playing, which seems to be a very helpful element on 13x13.
