CRAFTY is the winner because it is the only program that is open to challenges online over the years and other programmers could even study its source code. If CRAFTY THEN wins so many games in the tournament it's the legal winner, because it's strong out of itself. Other programs are only strong through their tuning on CRAFTY. Programs like JUNIOR, SJENG, DIEP etc. are a deep deception for CC as such. These programs are, although their programmers are most experienced in CC AND could tune on CRAFTY, in itself weak and a deception. The normally strongest program SHREDDER paid its tribute to its programmer's hyperactivity by participating in Mainz so shortly before the Wch. Kudos to Bob Hyatt and his lifelong performance.
