I played a standard chess game Saitek Travel Champion versus Zillions on a 3 GHz computer, 5 sec/move. The Saitek Travel Champion is an excellent tabletop rated 2080 by USCF. I agree fully with this evaluation. Zillions won. Zillions is worth at least 2080 on a 3 GHz computer. In chess variants it is perhaps as much as 2300. Here is the game, replayable in my Accessory Chess:
