Calculating an engines elo rating?
Posted: Sat Jan 04, 2020 11:42 pm
Hi friends,
I read Ferdy‘s tests on talkchess - which engine (uci setting 1500 elo) plays THE MOST like a human FIDE elo 1500
Result: Rodent IV. So for my tests this will be the reference engine.
I never did an engine tournamen/elo calculation.
Questions:
1. What is THE MOST SIMPLE tool to calculate the elo of some engines? When I have the pgn
I want to set ONE engine with a FIX elo number (Rodent IV - 1500 with elo 1500) and calculate the elo number of the other engines. If this is possible I would like to FIX some other engines elo later too. I am using Windows 10.
2. How much games are necessary for a hobby tester to get a valid result?
3. Which time setting is a good one - 5 minutes/game?
Peter
