Exactly, which is why this match is never going to happen as long as Vincent
isn't sure he can win.

Bob is actually in a terrible position if his offer always stands, Vincent can
simply pick the right time, download Crafty and accept when he is sure he'll
win.

To be fair it should be now or never, or at least decide on a date in the near
future.

If not, well then in my book Crafty is winner by forfeit.
