          Maybe they have a bet about who will do best?  Maybe they don't have
4-way smp systems at home?  Maybe they like an audience?  Maybe they don't
realize how good crafty is and hope to gain rating points by winning rarely?
Maybe they don't want to quit until they win a game?  Many possible reasons.
What difference does it make?
