Subject: How to use a [cough] EPD test suite to estimate ELO

Author: Dann Corbit

Date: 12:41:25 02/11/99

Andreas Schwartmann asked an interesting question in r.g.c.c.:
"I wonder if anyone can enlighten me on how to use various test suites, like
LCT, LCT II and Covax. There are ceratin formulas on how to calculate the
playing strength according to these test suites, right?"

Now, ignoring the fact that they are full of bugs and the measures are probably
bogus, how *does* one arrive at an ELO from a test suite evaluation?

What is the actual mathematical basis for the calculations?
