3.5-1.5 for crafty

see http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?336433

Note that the match is not very interesting for me because it is an open
question if Crafty is better than rebel on equal hardware and in WBEC Crafty has
13/24 when Rebel has only 10/24

The more interesting question is if Rebel is able to get better result than
Crafty in the premier division.
