I don't know what Bayeselo does to compensate.
It has a parameter "Advantage" (default value 32.8). BE assume that a player with white has an effective elo of Elo+Advantage. When playing black the effective Elo is Elo-Advantage ("Elo" is the computed elo).

Ordo can do this too BTW but the default value of Advantage is 0.0, so you have to set it manually.
Or it could be automatically calculated, which I recommend. These are the two relevant switches:

Code: Select all

 -w <value>  white advantage value (default=0.0)
 -W          white advantage, automatically adjusted
