Or maybe Crafty does some learning after a game, which takes time? In any case the GUI should not be so fast to decline a rematch, waiting 1-2 secs for the engine to get ready would be better, IMO. I believe there is a workaround. If you do not support pings, that will fool winboard into thinking the engine is ready (or more specificly winboard doesn't care if it's ready or not). You may lose 1-2 secs at the start of the game though. -S.
