Ok - crafty is damn hard to provoke into closing the position and I didn't have
the patience for a zillion games.

Still - the question is, how many moves will crafty play in a 3-minute game
before running out of time. There is of course some limit, even if it's 1000. A
pre-mover can play an infinite amount.
