One thing I love about time-increments is that they tend to produce less
"random" results, especially in longer games.  We've all had games where
one player is up a queen or a rook and is trying desperately to deliver
mate before his flag falls.  With increments this type of sillyness just
doesn't occur.

By the way, Bob, how did Crafty do against Seirawan?
