By his own admission, the strengths are only guesses based upon his observations. In other words, we all have some pretty good ideas about how strong the freely available winboard engines are, but we don't really know for sure -- not scientifically.
My idea for "The Battle of the Crowns" was to first calibrate the programs with thousands of games at G/60 or slower time control on hardware that is at least PII 300 MHz (or the equivalent by time handicapping).
After each program has been calibrated to withing +/1 100 ELO, we will form four starting groups of 1-4 stars by the ELO average ranking. Within each of these groups, we will play a round robin tournament. Within the round robin tournament, each program will play each opponent in its category 4 games, two as white and two as black at G/90.
At the conclusion of the tournament, the winner of each group will be promoted to the higher group and the loser demoted to the lower group (except the very best and the very worst, which have nowhere to go).
That's the basic idea. If you would like any more details, please let me know.
There are dozens of posts on that topic here in the Winboard forum. If you look in the Archives section, you can read a lot more about it. The calibration has been going on for a couple of months now.

The calibration will continue until the ELO +/- is within a tolerance of +/- 100 ELO. All of the upper crust programs are finished. There are only about ten or so lower level programs that need more games. I think that Crux and Freyr have the stiff-arm in the list and will rise greatly when more games come in. Both are (I think) a lot stronger than their current position shows. But I could be wrong. That's why we go ahead and run the games.
After calibration is finished, there will be four divisions of 11-12 programs each. Within each division, each program will play 4 games against each of the other programs -- two as white and two as black.

Err... Not sure exactly. I run 4 machines, and several others are helping by sending me games by email. I also gather games from other contests that are run at G/60 or slower from other people's contests and add these into the calibration data. That's how I came up with 7000 games (14,000 hour's worth of computer time!)Sorry if this has been gone over, but how many people are actually running these games in this tournament?

Due to the timecontrol of Game/90 it's a very slow process. I also have to finish round 4 of my Superwb tournament before I change computer. Hopefully this will happen today and then it's all Colchess. Hopefully others are conducting games with ColChess as well.

Yesterday I ran a ColChess-Crux game (CC won).
ColChess - Amy (WLD 0-11-1)
ColChess - Sjeng (WLD 7-5-4)
Just started ColChess - Faile. Shouldn't take too long
Dann - I'll send you the results when I'm done.
Cheers,
Col

More interesting to me is to see the next group..Hmm GNUchess4 is quite good..Bringer isn't a surprise, it has being in the "almost there" position for some time..Same for Arasan..
Yace's performance at longer time controls isn't nearly quite as impressive as it's Blitz performance , I think..Where it belongs to the top ranked programs..i.e 4 crowns..At G/60 it's merely 3 crowns?

It does seem to be quite a respectable engine. Last I checked it was
+2 =1 -2 against Arasan, but that's a small sample of games. It lost a
game to Gnuchess 4. I will run some more Arasan and Gnuchess games
today.

I am running some games with Freyr and will provide them to Dann soon.I think that Crux and Freyr have the stiff-arm in the list and will rise >greatly when more games come in. Both are (I think) a lot stronger than their >current position shows. But I could be wrong. That's why we go ahead and run >the games.

GNUchess 4 is sort of the Rodney Dangerfield of computer Chess. I sure wish someone had given it the ability to resign at some point before it stopped being developed. But it's a tough program, it can win some games, but it won't win that many.I am running some games with Freyr and will provide them to Dann soon.I think that Crux and Freyr have the stiff-arm in the list and will rise >greatly when more games come in.
