If your account is rated > 3000, they will play you (Crafty played GM games non-stop almost all day yesterday.) They will play thinking they have a chance of winning one of every 5-10 games, which will still push their rating up if they are rated 2600 or so. If you are rated about the same as them (< 3000) you can almost forget it, because they know that at blitz they can't play 'evenly' which will depress their rating.
