This isn't a surprise.  Crafty is not a great 'bullet' or 'blitz' player.  It
does better at 'normal' time controls as that is where I have been tuning it
for the past year or two.

If you want to see which programs are better at bullet/blitz/standard time
controls, just log on to ICC.  If a computer operator is running program X and
plays mainly 0 1 vs Crafty, you can be sure he thinks that he has a better
chance at 0 1 than at 15 15.  If you use the 'search' command you can generally
discover the 'trend'.
