Subject: What Is The Rating of Comet B27?

I've been looking for an engine I can play at tournament time controls without
getting stomped (something stronger than the Sapphire II but weaker than
Crafty). I think Comet B27 fits the bill. It's one of the freebies included with
Chessbase programs.

I can't find the older SSDF lists. Other sources suggest anywhere from
2390-2470. Any opinions on where it's at on a 1.2 Ghz? (Or any suggestions for
interesting programs meeting the stronger-than-Sapphire-weaker-than-Crafty
criterion.

As great as it is to own GM-level programs, the only way I can play them is with
an average time setting and frequent adjournments (I presume this hybrid of OTB
and postal chess has become quite popular).

Thanks,
