Crafty has done well at longer time controls.  But again, because most GM
players prefer to play "real chess" rather than "anti-computer chess" against
it.  I am sure Ricardi could do better, _if_ he was willing to change his style
to avoid the strengths of the computer.  See my response to Dan to see what I
mean...
