Go up one level in this thread


well Elo is Elo
regardless of whether or not it is a machine or a human

that is to say...

usually the machine with the higher Elo will win if enough games are played just
like in Human competition

this is why i could never understand when some collectors will get together with
old computers and play one against the other in fierce competition
almost 99.99 % of the time the higher rated dedicated computer will win

now of course for the fun of gathering and seeing old freinds i understand
it,but generally these meeting erupt into fierce competitions and there have
been known incidents where  actual fisticuffs have erupted
