I play it for the blood, and that's the fun for me. The faster the time control
and the tougher the competition, the more adrenaline is involved, and 3 0
against Crafty has to be tough. I don't think GMs take on Crafty at 3 0 time
controls just for the fun of it, at least not in the light-hearted sense of the
word.
