It is sometimes called the 'hippo' opening, with (generally, human playing white) pawns on d3/e3, and also a3/b3 and g3/h3. Very cramped. Against a computer that won't lose on time, it is probably hopeless. (I can't imagine any crafty running out of time in only 150 moves unless something was wrong.) But you are welcome to try this against 'crafty' on ICC as a guest, most any time control you want.
