That's on the one hand. (Actually, 200 will be needed for ChessTiger/Junior/Fritz territory I think). On the other hand, 100 Elo will make it stronger than many engines already professional. From Leo's list we have this: 1 0 DeepSjeng 1.5 * 2734 0 236 2 0 The King 3.23 * 2696 0 68 3 0 Ruffian 2.0.0 * 2691 0 304 4 0 Gandalf 4.32h * 2650 0 340 5 0 Aristarch 4.21 2642 0 382 6 0 Little Goliath 3.9 po 2627 0 380 7 0 Rebel 12 * 2627 0 68 8 0 SmarThink 0.17a 2623 0 515 9 0 WARP 0.58 ** 2615 0 252 10 0 GreenLightChess 3.00 2614 0 464 11 0 Crafty 19.06 2596 0 416 12 0 Yace Paderborn 2582 0 488 13 0 Zarkov 4.5e ** 2578 0 340 14 0 Quark 2.05b 2547 0 432 15 0 Dragon 4.5 2545 0 532 16 0 Nejmet 3.07 2535 0 528 17 0 Ktulu 4.1 2531 0 68 2531 + 150 = 2681 which would be about the level of Rebel and Gandalf on this list. Zarkov is available commercially (Bookup sells it IIRC) and is very near to the strength of Ktulu.
