Since the rule of thumb is that doubling thinking time gains an engine some 70 Elo, you would have to make Zillions think a million times longer than Stockfish, to approach the latter in strength.
I tried putting that to the test by having Zillions-of-Games play at 30 seconds per move and then at one minute per move, and it lost both times, which is just making PyChess look all the more impressive. I didn't go higher, because I wanted to keep the length of the game from exceeding the 90 minutes allowed for each player to move.
