Configure Arena Linux 1.1 with engines of certain ELO

[Roland Chastain]

Here you can find old versions of Sloppy. It could make good opponents for Belofte.

Updated the Belofte partners package. Added Sloppy 0.1.0, Toledo Nanochess, Little Wing 0.2.

Don't the engines that I proposed to you do the job? I can add some other engines if you want.
Another option (as H.G.Muller suggested) would be to play with the time control. In XBoard, you have an option named time odds. It divides the time allowed for one opponent, and lets the other use the full time.

Other engines linux 32/64 bit would help. I am looking for engines in the 1200-1600 range. Working with time-limit will not help a lot as it means a lot of configuration with only a rough estimate of what the impact elo level is.

Here is the output of my tests. As you see, closing in Iota. With enhancements on threefold repetition and endgame, will probably jump over it.

Ps: I remember vaguely to have seen somewhere a free old release of a commercial program with elo sllder... but do not remember what program.
