Arena And Elostat
Posted: 29 Nov 2004, 03:44Hi, I've been running Tourneys with arena (2 so far and plan to download all free Winboard/UCI engines 8 at a time to make more tourneys), with 1/10 time control, just to calculate the rating of these programs on my Pentium 900 computer 128 RAM with 1/10 time control.
I do it with ELO Stat, but after you fuse 2 different tourneys in one PGN, if an engine that hasn't participated in neither tourney has played an engine of each tourney, ELO Stat messes up the ratings.
The solution is do it separatedly in different PGNs, but the original ratings are lost, because you only can speciffy a Starting ELO for all the engines, instead of let's say: Pharaon begins with 3353, Tao with 2842, Ruffian with 2765 etc. then calculate the ELO after the new games.
Is there a way to tell ELO Stat the starting rating of each program instead of all the programs with the same rating?
Thanks.
