Crafty has never played in a WCCC event. It's direct predecessor (Cray Blitz)
did, winning in 1983 and 1986, but losing to deep thought in 1989.  We didn't
play in the next 2 because (1992/1995) as they were held outside the US and
travel money wasn't available.

It has participated in two WMCCC events.  in 1996 it finished in 4th place I
believe.  In 1997 it played badly and finished down somewhere around the middle
or lower-middle of the field.  I had done some ill-advised things that really
made it play poorly in some positions...

No other data, other than it has played in some human events, including an
event with only computers and grandmasters...
