I believe you are jumping to conclusions with "not much of a chance.." :)

Crafty seems to be more than just barely holding on, it seems to be winning
these matches at 8-10x speed advantage.
That would mean Crafty still has chances even with "only" a 4x speed advantage.

I'm not saying it would be a favorite but it's enough of a lottery to say that
there are chances, and who knows what kind of hardware Bob could get his hands
on ;)
