Ken Sloan posted to r.g.c.c last year analyzing the difference in FIDE ratings and USCF ratings. The "average" is less than 50 points with USCF being higher than FIDE, but for the upper end I seem to recall that 30 was the right "fudge". Second, forget taking a test suite, running it, and getting an Elo (FIDE) type rating. It ain't going to happen. You won't get anything anywhere close to the true rating of the program.
