I generally agree the results of fast blitz games mean very little.
Though as with humans maybe we should have blitz type results by
someone like the SSDF it is still an interesting subject.

Funny how knowone said anything about blitz being bad when Jouni posted
that on his machine at nunn 1 crafty scored better than F6.

Thanks.
