You can figure roughly 40 engines in the gauntlet. At two games each per opponent, it is 80 games per opponent for one gauntlet run. With 80 engines, you would have 640 games, which is about half as many games as last time. But the games will be at twice the time control, so it will take about the same time to complete. I figure 6 months.
