I looked at Crafty's log from the game, and it liked h3 early, changed to Nf1, then back to h3, then back to Nf1 and back to h3 again. If it had more time it might well dive back to h3, although there is a question of whether Nf1 loses and h3 draws or not... Too complicated for me to say this late at night. :) The mistakes today were not _near_ that hard. They were obvious to a very shallow search.
