I have tried in the past to get a good blitzer at the 2100 level. The problem
being that most times even the "best" 1800-1900 player can not beat it and it's
rating goes above 2300 due to winning 1 point per game.

If you would like I am willing to try again. Crafty is the best solution for
this, as it has the most options to cripple it's play.
