Also, it was marked that Chess System Tal Assassin has an estimated elo of 3630 while Chess System Tal 3 only has 3610?. But I noticed that u said CHess System Tal 3 is the strongest. So which rating is more accurate? Thank you.

The elo rating of Chess System Tal Assassin is calculated from CCRL-BLITZ, these ratings are a lot higher than the CCRL 40/15 list. Check it out.
