Now I know.  Yes... he is a cheater.  I reported him yesterday in fact.  His
time usage was fishy... his lack of blunders against scrappy was fishy.  I'll
report back on the result of the FICS guys checking him out.  But he was using
a computer vs scrappy.  NO idea whether he uses one all the time however...

Scrappy/Crafty will do bad things playing against an unknown computer opponent,
as they will try way too hard to avoid a draw by repetition, and often lose
as a result...

That is why I don't like the 'concept' of cheating...
