calculate Elo ratings for Human users #78

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
It would be nice if a elo rating could be calculated for the player. And
maybe ratings could be given as well to the different chess engines.

Thanks for your reply,

I Guess this will be implemented as a part of ICS. You can't calculate a rating 
based
only on games played against a few chessengines.

Chessmaster does actually do that based on play against the chess engine, and 
it is
very nice to track your progress when learning chess. Also it is easy to choose 
an AI
opponent who is about the same rating or if you want a challenge to choose one 
with a
higher rating.

Hm, but then we need a list of engine ratings.
The 0.8 xml handling of engine can easily support adding this info, but what do 
we do
for engnines we don't know the rating of?

We can add a dialog to the "Game" menu together with game properties.

There are many lists with engine ratings around which you could use:

Ok. It is still a little tricky due to different hardware, but it would indeed 
be
possible.

This could be added as a part of

http://chess-db.com/public/research/qualityofplay.html has some info on ELO 
calculation and estimating "quality of play".
