Crafty does very well even at extremely long time controls.  Look at past KKUP
results and you will see that this is clearly so.  In the last KKUP, it held its
own with the top commercial programs.  If anything, crafty does *better* at long
time controls than short ones.

"The faster the PC the better it plays" is true for each and every chess
program.
