Crafty generally didn't have the problem at long time controls.  But that
was the gist of the problem.  The good players would hit "3 0" time controls
where a short search would cause problems...  At normal time controls in
most Trojan positions, Crafty could see the mate or loss of material. But
humans played it as fast as they possibly could, which caused the problem.
