This is my a paste from the general.dat file produced from elostat:
Games : 3314 (finished)
White Wins : 1313 (39.6 %)
Black Wins : 962 (29.0 %)
Draws : 1039 (31.4 %)
Unfinished : 1
White Perf. : 55.3 %
Black Perf. : 44.7 %
A few questions:
Are these statistics normal for high level Engine Games? Are the statistics normal for GM games?
Also, when running the program, it reports 61 iterations. Around 100 games ago, it reported 62 iterations. What does this mean and why the change. If I were to point elostat to a large file, where all engines played the same amount of games against all other engines, would elostat report 1 iteration? Do more iterations mean that the program has to work harder to get accurate rating results as there are not enough games between certain engines?
