I do not say that crafty is not of GM strength but you cannot decide that it is
at GM strength only because of the fact that it is better than genius on slow
hardware.

We have no proof that genius at slow hardware is GM strength.

The games of genius against kasparov were fast time control and we also cannot
compare kasparov of 1994 with players of today and it is possible that today
GM's play better(I do not say it and it is only one possibility)
