Tiger was the favourite to win the last tournaments but winning both 3 of them
is a good achievement.

If you have 60% chances to win the last 3 tournament then your chances to win 3
tournament in a row is only 21.6%

Crafty and Comet are strong engines and most authors of chess programs will be
happy to get Crafty or Comet level.

Note that some participants in the last tournament are probably stronger than
Crafty(for example the king).
