How can you seperate a "positional rating" from a "tactical rating". "Tacitcs" and "positional advantages" are human concepts. We use tactical and positional patterns to help us decide which moves and positions are better because we can't possibly calculate out all of the variations like the computer does. Also, an ELO rating is only a relative indication of who is better. Only ELO differences matter. If I came up with a test that gave you a tactical and positional rating in ELO points, it wouldn't mean anything to people or engines that didn't take the test. I could have a 5000 ELO rating in some rating pool, but if Kasparov entered that rating pool, he would have around a 6800 ELO rating.
