No, but the games were absolute time games where CrazyStone was often in
a losing position but ended up winning on time.  The endgame in Go takes
a long time but is mostly just cleanup.  That is why a small amount of
time to play each move is usually allowed, even in fast games.
  
The 2k rank is not indicative of how well CrazyStone would play in a
typical game of Go.  It's like a 1 minute lightning game in Chess; you
wouldn't use that to rank a computer.  It just isn't very interesting.
