Hello Gabriel:

Quoting Don:

Are you looking for a utility that prompts you for every value?

If you just have 2 programs and want to know based on a head to head results you can convert the score to ELO directly.


I made a programme for those cases: nor PGN neither other files are required. It also gives you error bars for 1, 2 and 3-sigma confidence. Here is an example of its modest output. The use is very simple: double click the executable and follow the instructions. The links for download are in this post.

The mathematical model I used may be similar to EloSTAT one (I do not know exactly what EloSTAT uses). But my programme has the limitation of supporting only direct matches between two engines... and of course you can be sure that it is not the best tool for estimating engine ratings, although the formula posted by Don is logically the same I use; the main differences could be in error bars.

Do not expect miracles of my programme! Wink

Regards from Spain.

Ajedrecista.
