Hey... I have said that same thing more than once myself. :) I don't like blitz games to break a standard time control tournament. Makes no sense. And I have not said that I have great chances to win, that I think I will win, or any other such statement. I _did_ say that Crafty is going to be a handful for _anybody_. And that is certainly true. The game vs Hiarcs in CCT6 was really dictated by Crafty if you recall, and it did its best to create winning chances and almost did. That shows that the search speed was enough to cope... Of course it _can_ lose every game. And, on occasion I am sure there has been a flying pig also. :) > ><snip>
