This is required to form an ELO number. But the conditions of each measurement are different. Different programs or versions of programs. Different machines. The experiment has no control and the data points are not valid for the conditions of ELO calculations except as guesses and extrapolation. In order to calculate ELO, a magical machine opponent that does not exist has been formed. It has fought Anand and gone to Dortmund and all sorts of exciting things. However, this composite beast is a figment of the imagination because it does not exist. All that having been said, if the machine were held constant and the program held constant so that we actually had something stable to measure, I doubt if the outcome would change any.
