Hey all, recently got the shredder chess app on my iPhone, it was a bit pricey, but it seems pretty good. One thing it supposedly can do is measure your rating as you play, and adjust to create a similar strength opponent. It also tries to work out your Elo rating as you go.
Now if you have a quick glance over at my profile you can see I'm nowhere near as good as Shredder chess seems to think I am, but for some reason I beat it on a higher setting... I've put a couple of examples down here, for higher rated peeps to take a glance at. I'm sure I've made errors in these games (I always do!) but this means that shredder chess made larger ones? I basically want to know if I just got lucky a few times or if this chess engine is really predicting my rating too high...

Thanks for your time

Nah you can't be 1700 playing like that, maybe I should buy it... i'd be 2300 :D

Thats what I reckoned, I mean even on the opening it played a bit oddly. 
Heh, must be a feel-good chess programme :D

Just got it myself - pretty impressive, isn't it?

Just looked at first game.  It played horribly.  No where near a 1672 rating.
