Elo determination

Sort:
Denpotap

Do you know any software which can determine your elo just after one 10 minutes blitz game? I have one. It can be usefull for new players’ calibration or just for interest. I think when new user chooses his skill by himself it could probably spoil next few games for both players (cause skill difference could be very big).  So, my solution: https://github.com/dendiod/elometer

Thanks for showing us it, but first a few things about this club that I want to get out of the way, copied from the front page that everyone doesn't read:

  • Website bug reports are off-topic. There is a bug-report tool in the "Help" menu in the navbar.
  • Website suggestions are off-topic. These are better in the Feedback & Suggestions forum.

 

Now that I got that out of the way, could you explain how it works? The READ.MD is quite quiet about it. How does it decide where to move?

I presume that Denpotap's site uses the chess.com API to pull your games, and uses those to estimate your Elo. Are we supposed to post about things we made using the API in the "Working Code" thread only? I'm working on a web application that uses the chess.com API and I planned on starting a thread about it when I finished. I'd think that people would want to see threads like that in the chess.com developer community club. I certainly appreciate Denpotap's thread. Should I not post about it here? That's disappointing.

No, it's great posting stuff like that. Sorry for confusing you! A lot of people don't read the info box and think that it is the club of the developers of chess.com, not about it's public api, so they post bug reports and such.

As for the program elometer it dosen't use your api. What it does is it has you play a computer and then when the game finishes it outputs a rating. Looks neat, but it would be nice to have a description of how it works.

Chess.com came out with something similar a few years ago.

If your advantage is more than 1.0 points it chooses random move from depth 14, 15. Else – random from depth 9, 10

Ah, thanks for the clarification. You didn't confuse me: I confused myself by assuming that Denpotap's project used the chess.com API, which it doesn't. It's still cool, but I can see why you wouldn't want a thread about it.
