Elometer
Have you ever tested your elo rating with Elometer?
It is a test designed by a bucnh of scientist and looks like accurate. It is a series of 76 problems of every kind.
In it I have got a 2053 elo rating, but it could be less or more because there is a a 5 % error. Not that bad for a 68 years old guy.
But what you get have no importance. The essential point is that it is fun.

This will be a nice exercise for the Millennium Exclusive
setting up 76 positions on a regular dedicated computer would be a royal pain
but with a piece recognition board...this is a snap
actually setting up test positions is the only practical use for a Piece rec board
as for the test itself..
i scored an elo of 2987
even more impressive..it took me only 16 min. in total

Hello
interesting and entertaining test... The position have a great variety and difficulty ...
i get a good 1976 rating .. not so bad i think, as run the test at my office ( ) in a hour (more or less) so i answer the position quite quickly. I didn't see any instruction about time.
The result seems to be relevant with other test
best regards

Hi Steve,
Impressed regards, Michael
absolutely right - but I like the technology....Steve B wrote:This will be a nice exercise for the Millennium Exclusive

That's more than Magnus' Elo value....Steve B wrote:as for the test itself..

Thank you Fernando, that was a fun test! I think I should have started this morning instead of just before bedtime last night, ha! I was pretty tired toward the end of it as the positions seemed to get very challenging as the test went on, for me anyway. Scored a 2163 elo rating, and since I am spending a few hours each and every day trying to improve my game, that feels quite satisfying.
Test regards,
Brian B

Cognac and chess
BTW I knew about elometer in a site very entertaining and instructive called Chess and Cognac. There is all kind of stiff over there, including chess computer one. It is handled by a guy named Norman Brandon that post more or less regularly in Computer Chess Club...

the reason of that apparently distorted rankings is that there is an abysmal difference between playing a game and solving a problem. Facing a problem, even if nobody tell you what is there to look for, you at least know that THERE IS a solution, a best move because it is a problem. In the middle of a game you not always feel there is something special to look for.Volodymyr wrote:Thank you very much for the link.

So, more or less, we are all better in problems solving than in playing...
Solving this problem regards

That is truth, but not feasible. No matter what, you face a position offered to you for solving or playing as something new, not as a part of a game, not as history flowing. You come to that fresh and full of energy, without any plan of your own, nothing, just you and the position. A game is history, a position is anatomy.scandien wrote:Hello
I think this test should not ne considered as solving problem. As indicated you should play the move You would play in a game and not trying to solve the position (it means your own feelings)
