Yes

I think that we can have nunn1 numbers for chess engines at different time
controls.

free chess engines that can beat Fritz8 at the nunn match with 3:1 time odd will
have nunn1 number 1(probably Ruffian or Sos but I guess the number is small and
I will be surprised if you find 20 different engines).

chess engines without nunn1 number 1 that can score more than 50% against
engines with nunn1 number 1 with 3:1 time odd in the nunn1 match will have nunn1
number 2.

We continue in that way and can get nunn1 number for all the engines.

I think that if someone does this project for all the free engines at different
time controls then it may be interesting.
