How to simulate an Open Tournament?
I just did it again. This time I was able to make 6.5 / 8. If I would do this in a tournament I had now an ELO of 2068. But okay 6.5 from 8 would unfortunately not enough to win the tournament. But at least I was in the upper third for sure. I won against everybody inclusive Li. I drew against Nora (2200), Francis (2300) and Paul Morphy (2600). Against Nora and probably against Francis I had a winning position. But I made a mistake in both games. Here my draw against Paul Morphy:
On a general basis though, these boys and their rating are significantly weaker than their human counterparts. Additionally, what time control are you playing these bots? Open tournaments are generally extremely long, 1-2 games a day for hours. Not statistically good at all for comparing results at a real life tournament. It's otb too and the vibe is overall much different. Fun idea to do nonetheless
No they are much stronger. I played in a club. I know how humans play. When a human is lost he goes down. When a bot is lost he defends until the end perfectly. But as I said I CANT go to A TOURNAMENT BECAUSE I AM SICK. Bots are tactically 10 times stronger than their rating. U could take a 2000 bot Li cheat with it and could easily come to 3000 blitzrating. But a human plays of course the opening better than Nora for example.
Well you could use for example Bots for this task. I did it today and played 8 Bots.
Elo of the bots were:
1000 / 1400 / 1850 / 1800 / 2000 / 2200 / 2300 / 2600
Result: 4/8 = Eloperformance: 1893.
How realistic is this stuff? Well first I played very bad. My highest victory was against Li but I played bad even in this game. Then of course not one single human would play like these bots. Not one guy for example with a rating of 2200 would play the opening like Nora for example. But on the other hand not one single 2200 rated player would be tactical as strong as Nora for example.
Nevertheless I should be able if I repeat this stuff several times to make 8/8. What normally means I would win the Open Tournament. But of course Bots are not human. I am very sure it would be much easier for me to play humans than these bots.
On the other hand I missed often easy moves I should see. This means I played very bad for my level and I can play much better. 6 out of 8 I should make normally what is an ELO-performance of 2033. If I would make 8/8 what means I would beat several Masters in an Open tournament Id still had only an ELO Performance of 2100 because I have no ELO rating at the moment.
