I think that this also strongly depends on the version of GNU chess
which you have selected. And also on your selection of the huge number
of compiler switches in the program, what did you take (e.g. Nullmove,
recursive Nullmove, DeepSearch, ON or OFF...).

In my opinion, the GNU chess 4.77 (and maybe later) already plays on a
very reasonable level. (But certainly still lower than Crafty).

On a P200MMX, I guess 2300 or even slightly above.
