Since Crafty 17.10 is the top Winboard Program, I believe that the phrase "beat
the hell out of" is more than appropriated in this instance, in the same
comparison when  Piket which is rated more than 150 elo points away from
Kasparov beat the hell out of Kasparov in the Grand prix not too long ago.
