Actually I did.  Rebel was expecting g3 a move earlier, and Crafty didn't play
it.  When Crafty played g3, Rebel instantly failed high, and the score went all
the the way to +2.50.  It was failing high when it hit its time limit, and
played without finishing that ply.  I would guess that had it, it would have
been +5.00 or so.

It was not dumb luck.  It was *very* good play from Rebel.

If you look through the Crafty log, there are times when Crafty thought it was
up in this game +1.50 or so.  Rebel _never_ had a positive score for white.
