   I printed the game as an email from ICC and K6-Krafty took 49 seconds for
this move, while if I remember its average lag was 300 something millisecond
(but with Timestamp it doesn't matter?). Maybe its average of 100,000 nps was
too small for the machine? On my Cyrix P150+, Fritz is averaging around 120,000
nps with Blitzin and Trumpet Winsock running.
