Hi Jonathan! Gromit is not the slowest engine if you look for nps. (Hiarcs 7.32 seems to be slowest). Anyway Gromit is really worth seeing. Gromit knows a lot about strategic ideas but nevertheless is not bad if you consider tactical play. An improved version became amateur world champion last year so the engine is well above your required playing strength. So for your purposes I would choose between Hiarcs 7.32 and Gromit. Peter
