Just out of curiosity... :)

What winning percentage would Crafty (or any competent program)
get against a 1700-rated player in 40/2h ? To be more specific,
what is the mamximum number of draws a "draw seeker" of that calibre
can get? 1 out of 2? 1/5? 1/20?

I would be happy with just an educated guess, preferably not only
for your monster machine but also for a standard PC. I have a
suspicion some people are greatly overestimating the programs abilities
to create won positions...
