Crafty on equal hardware probably doesn't stand a realistic chance against
Shredder. Only Fritz scores at least 45% against Shredder on the latest SSDF.
Junior and Hiarcs score at least 40%. Crafty would be behind those engines on
equal hardware by a non-trivial margin (take the Junior-Crafty 10x experiment
for example).

What is interesting about a Shredder-Crafty match where Crafty is at a hardware
_disadvantage_?

BTW, that really explains a lot about why he is #1 on ICC. You have a freakin'
FX53 and you're at a hardware disadvantage! Wow...
