The results only suggest that it is slightly stronger.
I also do not know if 4.41 is better than 4.21 because I did not test it and I
know about cases when newer version of a program was discovered not to be
stronger than the previous version.

Note also that there is a newer crafty than crafty of wbec and I do not know if
it is better.

I said near Crafty level and it does not mean that aristarch is exactly in the
same level.

The difference between programs in the premier division is very small and the
difference between premier division and first division is also small.
delfi is not in the premier division and I also included it as a program that is
near crafty level.

Ktulu has good chances to promote to the premier division so it was also
included as a program near Crafty level.
