Let compare

Shredder Fritz,Junior,Brutus against Crafty,Junior,Hiarcs,Ruffian

Shredder-Crafty(Shredder is probably better inspite of hardware advantage of
Crafty)
Junior-Junior(equality)
Fritz-Hiarcs (Fritz is considered to be better)
Brutus-Ruffian(Brutus is probably better)

I think that the level at WCCC was probably slightly better than the level at
CCT.
