CC7 (1979) was slightly better than CC10 (1978), my guess around 1100 at 3min/move. CC7 was slightly more selective and usually castled. CC10 (almost) never castled because of a bug. For some reason CC10 castled as white on level2 in the dragon variation! I used to play this variation and after the castle I changed the level to 8 or 10, around or longer than tournament-level.
