Hi, does anyone know what is an approximate elo rating for the android version of this chess engine. My app says it is 2864, and it is set to maximum strength and I just drew against it and we had a blitz game, 3 minutes each. No takebacks. That just doesnt make any sense to me. I am nowhere near that rating. The draw however was forced in the end, and it was kinda interesting game.

Its worth mentioning that this was my first and only draw against Scorpio. I have lost all other games ( 16 in total ), but nevertheless this is supposed to be a strong grandmaster level engine.

I might be able to guess, but I'd need to know the version of Scorpio, and I'd have to adjust for the assumed weaker play of the mobile platform.

Could you install the latest version of Arena (the portable version is OK) and run the ArenaMark test? (In the Arena menu, it's "Extras --> Speed Test --> Calculate ArenaMark".) Run it with no other processes running, and don't move your mouse or type while the test is running. Run it several times and take an average.

Aw, crap - I wasn't thinking - I guess Android doesn't run Windows apps :)))

Maybe it will run one of the Arena flavors for Linux? If not, could you give me the CPU info for your device?

I'm having a hard time finding benchmark information on the cpu. Could you tell me the name and model number of the Android device?

Well, trying to get a benchmark for this mobile stuff is just too hard. Can you install the "Arena for 32-bit ARM Linux" package and run the ArenaMark test as described above?

It's not that important to me, but thanks anyway.
