I gave every engine a number between 1 and 8.  So pick a number between 1 and 8,
and I'll tell you which engine that number corresponds to.  I showed my wife the
list of numbers, so she can attest that the list is fair, and that I'm not going
to pick an engine because I want to see it win.

If you don't trust me you can have someone else assign the numbers.  This has to
be more efficient than using a computer for days on end in order to create a
number between 1 and 8.

Maybe the computer result would be meaningful if you were going to have the
program play against another computer, but a human?  It doesn't mean anything.
You may actually end up picking the worst one.
