Indeed. Bob did say some things on r.g.c.c. about how crafty modified
its behaviour. Such behaviour is indeed fascinating: crafty no
longer makes the same mistake twice.
Especially that bit about having the hedgehog (IIRC) played against
it so many times, crafty itself used the hedgehog to beat someone.

These are definitely interesting symptoms for a program to have.
An article in ICCA would be interesting.
