Finger notes mean nothing here.  I clearly explained that crafty plays everyone,
scrappy plays only humans.  Same hardware and everything.  The intent was to
see how the ratings would differ.  They stayed within 100 points of each other
until a group of 3 GM players went crazy trying to beat it, but failed.  That
has _always_ led to big rating spikes... for Crafty.  for Ferret.  For others.

Of course, you already knew that, but just wanted to 'take a shot' right?

As for who/what scrappy "should" play, who decides that?  I believe I do,
not you...
