With a 3 to 1 time advantage and Crafty's guess rate of 50% on pondering, AND EVEN IF THE HUMAN GUESSES Crafty's moves 50% of the time, the time advantage reduces to 1.4 to 1. Even with a 1,000,000 to 1 time advantage the upper limit is only 1.999999 to 1. Just goes to show the power of pondering (thinking on the opponent's time). -- Komputer Korner
