A fun game to watch, but I think that Ruffian's questionable time usage might
have played a part in the outcome. Crafty had over 13 minutes left on its clock,
and was never in any real trouble. Ruffian hit the 10 minute mark around move
40, and ended with just over 4 minutes....
This was Ruffian's first non-win, and Crafty is at a perfect 3 out of 3.
