My top 4 would be Ferret, Shredder, Nimzo, Crafty.

I agree that these 3 programs are a bit behind the top 4, and a bit ahead of
everybody else.

Insomniac is a mystery to me.  Great result at the Dutch Championship, but
otherwise I know almost nothing about it.

This ordering looks about right to me, except I would move Bringer way up the
list, perhaps as high as PostModernist.  I just downloaded this program a few
days ago, and it gives Grok all kinds of problems.  I think Bringer might turn
out to be the surprise of the tournament.

I don't know much about this last group of programs, except that I think Galahad
is pretty solid, and might surprise some people.
