Yes certainly, according to your personal opinion Crafty 16.19 is roughly as
strong as Junior 7 or Hiarcs 8.

I suggest you play tournament time control matches between Crafty 16.19 and
those engines and watch Crafty 16.19 to score round about 33%.

Those '100 point stronger claims/opinions' seem to accumulate recently.
Not long ago I read a posting on the occasion of the Ruffian 2.0 announcement
from Quisinsky (Arena Webmaster):

"(I believe Ruffian is one of TOP 3 chess programs in the World). The Leiden
version 10.10.03 is more as 100 ELO stronger as Ruffian 1.05".
