I think we will see a butt-blasting in Crafty's favor. Crafty's search is a lot smarter now. A 100 minute per move straight-up match would be more interesting. Did you see Ed's chess in 2010 match (something like that). Crafty was doing *very* well in it. So extending the time for Crafty and contracting the time for the opponent will just mean a one-sided whitewash.
