You may test it on other tournament but I suggest that you do not test the difference in rating from the winner but the difference in rating between players to see if usually the difference in rating is really 600 when the program say 600. You may take tournaments like the olympiad when there are a lot of teams and it is easy to find players with fide rating 2700 and players with fide rating 2100. Uri
