If you let it run for about 9 minutes, crafty will switch to Qd2 with a score of
2.6 going up to +3 later.

               18->  33:58   3.01   1. Qd2 h6 2. g4 Qd8 3. Nxd6 Rf8 4.
                                    Nxb7 Qc7 5. g5 h5 6. Na5 bxa5 7. O-O
                                    Qd6 8. Rab1 Na6 9. Rb7 Nc7
