Well, Blitz or Crafty on a Cray at 7M NPS would be a good matchup for Fritz6,
Junior6, Shredder4, Hiarcs7.32, Chess Tiger ... on a PIII 1Ghz. :)

However, I would give the nod to Fritz or DJ6 on a PIII 8x800 mhz.  Just
my opinion, I would rather see the match-up, who knows how it would turn
out and I would love to see Crafty at 7M NPS play all of the above.  You
did a great job with Cray Blitz and you have done a great job with Crafty
and so has Amir with Junior, the fritz team, shredder team, Ed with Rebel,
Hiarcs team, christophe chess tiger, ...  :)  Bring_it_on for the next
WCCC!  :)

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
