I have "scrappy" running on FICS all the time (except for the last week as I
have been letting Vincent use it to test his parallel search for an upcoming
tournament).

I don't run 'crafty' there a lot for two reasons:  (1) there are far more GM
players on ICC, and they are the targets that are interesting;  (2) FICS has a
really bad 'computer cheating' problem.
