Hi Michael, >>Against humans, there is no real data. If you are talking about taking a >>program on an XXX megahertz machine, and playing it against a program on >>a 2*XXX megahertz machine, then the faster machine will be rated about 60 >>points higher, using the typical Elo formula. I don't think that +60 will >>be true for games vs humans, however. It might be 1/2 of that or even less. > >Is this true regardless of what XXX is? To rephrase, while going from 350 >megahertz to 700 might yield a 60-point elo bonus, would going from 1 gigahertz >to 2 gigahertz also yield 60 points? And what about a hypothetical 2 gigahertz >to 4 gigahertz? Isn't there a horizon effect whereby the elo gain diminishes? I think in computer - computer games it is more or less regardless of XXX... but against humans it is different - but Bob said that already... Greets, Thomas
