I think Inmichess is the weakest of the group here. Except for Bam-Bam which is
Inmichess also?  Ant has improved and is probably the next weakest, I think.

I agree with you. I would sugguest SOS but that doesn't work in Fritz GUI. Yace
is probably the best ,free non-native chess engine that works in CB gui..

But if we were just talking winboard versions..

Besides those mention ,Probably include Phalanx,SOS,TCB,Zchess, Francesa,
Bringer, Gormit,Tao is also worth a try. These are all probably close enough to
occasionally win , but like Pete, it's usually better to bet on Crafty,,
