Only 2 modified Crafties.
2 accounts(if we want significant names)
Crafty0.1
Crafty3

Crafty0.1 is modified to use always 0.1 seconds per move and not to ponder.
Crafty3 is modified to use always 3 seconds per move and not to ponder.


both have formula that let them to play only 5 3 time control or 15 9 time
control.

Both do not limit opponents except maybe limitation of difference in rating of
not more than 300 elo.

Crafty0.1
2300 blitz
2200 standard

Crafty3
2900 blitz
2500 standard

The difference in rating may be misleading and 600 elo in blitz may be
equivalent to 300 elo in standard.
