Crafty is popular, so I think Bob wants to allow no one to play it more than 4 times in a row. That way everyone has a chance, not just the current player who keeps doing "rematch" and getting in before anyone else. The next release of Zippy will have an optional limit on the number of games that one person can play in a row. If you hit the limit, Zippy will decline your challenges until either someone else has played or 5 minutes have elapsed. I think this will deal with the issue of one player trying to monopolize a popular computer. [Bob, I think I can send you a patch to add this feature if you are eager to get it. It may be quite a while before the next release.] --Tim
