This seems a little strong for AnMon 5.00. On my P233, my program has scored +32
=4 -32 (51%) at fast blitz (4 2). Against Crafty, my record is +11 =11 -27
(34%). These are all on one machine, so results may be skewed a little. But I
doubt proper use of time would change AnMon from Insomniac level to beating
Crafty on double the hardware level. :)

Also, remember that many of these "Crafties" exhibit wierd quirks,
modifications, and books. :)
