Body: <p>Can somebody tell me where can i find an updated list of the strongest chess engines. I want to find out a comparison (ordered list of engines)</p>
  
  <p>Information on wiki <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_engine">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_engine</a> is very outdated.
  Typing strongest chess engine in google either gives links for 2011 year pages or to the sites of an engine with ads that it is the best. Sometimes I see tests done by random people on the laptop with a lot of fuss.</p>
  
  <p>So it looks strange to me that I can not encounter official results.</p>

  The information on the [Wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_engine#Ratings) seems pretty up-to-date to me. I will retype a couple of the links from it.
  
  * The [CCRL 40/40](http://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4040/) list runs programs at the time control of 40 moves in 40 minutes.
  * The [CEGT 40/120](http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn//40120new/40_120_ratinglist/40_120_AllVersion/rangliste.html) list runs programs at the time control of 40 moves in 120 minutes.
