Elo human rating of Old Dos engines running in fast comps.

Post by Fernando »

I wonder how strong the many programs that spacious mind has been running in competitions between them are o should be in an human tounaments.
My experience is very obvious: programs that 30 years ago or more I beated more or less easily running in Atari console or in 286 comps are today, running in fast comps , very hard to beat, if at all.
My guess is that exception made of two or three very weak, ALL the programs that spacious mind play are at least 1900-2000 elo in human terms, several 2100 and not few 2200 or even more.

Your guess?

Hi Fern,

My guess in the Division 4 swiss league that I am playing the top ones are probably as strong as 2100-2200 ELO.

Best regards
Nick
