That was what I was responding to. Crafty played in a four computer vs four human GM event in 1997 or so and it finished above _all_ the four human GM players. However, it was a 30 minute time control and I'd hardly claim that 1997 Crafty was a GM at normal time controls, although it was hell on wheels against GMs at blitz speeds.
