Based on prior tournaments, at action chess speeds, crafty can play with lower-
to-middle-class GM players just fine.  I posted some games here last year where
it won/drew (2 game round robin match) with Roman, Won/Drew with Larry
Christiansen, and also played 2 games against another GM but I now don't
remember the result or the GM...

But it was 30 0 time control. Which is _far_ different from 40/2hr of course.

And the 2600 on ICC is primarily action-chess type ratings as well.
