At least i am not aware of such a program. I think it is not easy to estimate the strength of a program on a particular machine without some sort of testing, since we all know the tremendous influence of the underlying hardware. But it could be done. The "ICC-Greenlist" (http://site2936.dellhost.com/forums/1/message.shtml?114177) features a formula for that. It should be done (Hint for programmers:), since most chessplayers like to play against players of comparable strength. I am waiting for it. Oliver Roese
