One benefit of the ban-crafty debate of a few days ago is that I learned how to
use the ICC 'search' command and discovered that it gives much more information
than I thought it did.
I went looking for the game in which crafty timed out when ban had insufficient
material. I found it, very easily, and it's listed below. It took place on
October 7th, i.e. 4 weeks ago.
If you add up the crafty times (or easier, use ICC 'examine'), you will see that
crafty had 2:19 minutes on the last move, but did not make a move till time ran
out.
The first reaction to this by Bob & others was that I was making this up. The
second reaction was that crafty crashed or hung, so I looked for the game crafty
played next, and I discovered that ban started another game with crafty 15
minutes after this game started, meaning immediately after this game ended. So
crafty did not crash or hang.
I include below the ICC commands I typed in (in quotes), and the ICC output
including the game moves & information.
I tried messaging Bob on ICC to tell him that, but this is impossible as he's
censoring me. I assume he has interest in this.
