Hello there,
Ratings for GNU Chess 4.0 pl.60 (compiled with DJPG?) under MS-DOS 6.0:
386-16: 1675 (1031 nodes/sec,  3489 Dhrystones)
486-33: 1724 (5530 nodes/sec, 16170 Dhrystones)
486-50: 1745 (6684 nodes/sec, 24348 Dhrystones)
These were found using the 30 Testpositions of the Bednorz-Thoennissen-2450
Test from the german magazine 'Computer Schach und Spiele'.
This test is valid for ratings between 1650 and 2450 and generates ratings
a little bit lower than actual tournament-rating (supposedly).
I will post some more info as well as the issue in question as soon as
possible if there is interest.
I uploaded the positions to valkyries.andrew.cmu.edu (/pub/chess/uploads).
The file bt.uu holds the uuencoded tar-file with the 30 positions. The file
bt.exe (for DOS) has these as well as two batch-files for automatic testing.
See you,
	 Andrew.
