A good and comprehensive list of available WinBoard programs. A few of the
programs on your list will cause you problems. Olithink (illegal moves), Monik
(can't remember), Tristam (uses a lot of cpu time with ponder off) and Skaki
(same as Tristam).

I believe your estimate is correct. Possible suprises would depend on the
versions and timecontrol you use. SOS is better with a longer timecontrol and
TCB is good at blitz. Phalanx could be dangerous as well.

Good luck with your tournament.

Best wishes...
