Years ago, a few humans would try to block the position and then shuffle a rook back and forth. And run Crafty out of time. Once I fixed it so that it could not lose on time, things got ugly. Crafty would make an unexpected move that required a precise response, but the opponent was using premove and failed to notice the new move, and BOOM. This style of play went away, eventually. :)
