Let's keep it in perspective, Slate.  I started the thread of support for Crafty
and completely agree Crafty has good chances.  However, what you quote above:
Hiarcs ranked 2nd to Crafty after a blitz playoff (no blitz playoffs in WCCC.)
Hiarcs ran on less than 25% of the CPU power and Hiarcs didn't drop a single
game to Crafty in the tournament.

I said it before CCT6 even began and will say it now -- 5+3 blitz to settle
tie-breaks in a tournament is foolish, especially considering such statements as
above get made.
