I'm curious: is there a Chess league for software? And if yes, how far are they already better (in ELOs) than humans if run on commodity server hardware?

I can't find the claimed ELO for Jonny (current champ) but Junior (previous champ) is listed at 3200+, Magnus' top rating, the highest ELO rating ever, is 2882 for reference

This is not a serious competiton. For serious stuff, see for example:

2)http://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4040/

There is a lot of politics in chess programming but the bottom line is that Komodo is currently the strongest program followed by Stockfish (which is distributed under GPL).
