I agree.

What I especially like about crazyhouse is that it is not solvable - at least
for me. My program has been for short times on the ICC and Fics #1 spot, but I
can still beat it far too often in 1 0 games (!!).

on http://www.d2d4.de/sunsetter.asp you can download an interface to play
crazyhouse offline. Some crazyhouse bots like Sjeng are included.
