Okay, I know it's been discussed before, but what if I played my true strength, playing the King's Gambit and win against the computer on the highest level? What would this say about my strength Here's my game against Excalibur Electronic e-chess and checkers on the highest level (Level 72). Model 410-3-CS-RS. I beat it in 76 moves. And, I always beat it with different openings. What would the following game say about my true rating strength? You be the judge.

Originally posted by ChesswickWell, unlike you, I don't have a computer at home, so I can sit there for hours on end and find the best move of all my candidate moves. I play basically quick chess on here and still have a 1509 rating. Oh, and that's not using any outside sources or materials. Definitely not chessbase or one of the other opening database programs. So, it's you who doesn't know what he's talking about. 🙂 Happy New Years to you, too!
Why don't you stop "estimating" and instead just play your "true strength"? Excuses are empty. The "I just don't try" is only a way to rationalize one's mediocrity.
p.s. Aheemmm... 1390 Chesswick? I'd make you suffer even when I play as quick as on RHP. I think you're just jealous. LOL!
Originally posted by powershakerHis point is still valid. What does rating have to do with it. I agree, if you're curious about rating, why don;t you just play in some tournaments? Electronic chess (whether against a human or not) is not a realistic estimate. Computers play differently to humans. It's quite simple, I am told, to beat a computer by emplying an anti-computer strategy.

BTW, I love how you give your first move an '!'. Well done on your original and brilliant thought of playing 1.e4(!) God, I wish I was good enough to think of playing 1.e4!
Originally posted by powershakerIndeed, I am 1390, but I don't make excuses. I've played less than half the games you have as well.

1. Learn PGN. If I must retype your game, I won't play through it. When I pasted your game score into my database program, it ended at move 11.
1.e4 e5 2.f4 etc. Lose the )s.
2. If you can beat Excaliber on a consistent basis, I'd say your ELO is not substantially lower than 1425.
However, one opponent at any strength cannot give you a fair estimate. There are players 200 below me that I struggle against, and others 200 above me that see their rating drop the minute they sit across 64 squares from me. On balance, however, their ratings are higher or lower because of consistent performance better or worse than mine.

This is what I got when I pasted the game:
[Event "Blitz:5'+3""]
[Site "Edmonton"]
[Date "????.??.??"]
[Round "?"]
[White "New game"]
[Black "Deep Fritz 8"]
[Result "*"]
[PlyCount "21"]
[TimeControl "300+3"]
{76MB, DFritz8.ctg, OEM} 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. d3 Nd5 5. g3 b6 6.
Ne5 f5 7. Nxc6 h6 8. Ne5 a5 9. Bd2 g5 10. d4 Bg7 11. a4 *
Notice It ends at move 11 as Wulebgr said, but the moves are all wrong. Get a Pgn and i'll look at it.
This is pgn without the player info and I fixed up your notation mistakes:

Ugly game!!
7..Nd5? 8...Qg4? and then all those useless knight moves. Even you moved your knights over and over again. There's a saying which goes move each piece onces in the opening. Generally speaking, it should be followed most of the time. 28...Bh6?? 34...b5?
Opening play disappointing by the computer and yours also but not as much.
Middlegame awful, all those wasted moves. Computer clearly had nothing.
Endgame not bad on your part.
After looking at the computer moves, I would rank this computer as 1400 OTB maximum. I recall playing 1300 during normal time controls several times and never seen them play this bad. So maximum 1400 for the computer but i'm saying 1350ish is more adequate. Judging by your moves and how long it took you to defeat the program I would say your rating would be 1500 maximum OTB in CFC. Therefore, Uscf would be around 1450ish.
Well I guess me and Wul. agreed on your rating, so there you have it. 1450 Uscf for you about. Stick with chessmaster. It will help your chess more then playing this computer thing you got. A beating every now and then is always good.

Play at your "real strength" and demonstrate it,otherwise shut up.
Originally posted by AmauroteI believe it! 😉
I don't even have a computer at work, all my moves are made by psychic projection. I calculate that this makes my actual OTB rating over three billion. Unfortunately, you try telling that to all the non-psychic numpties who regularly kick my ass on this site.

2. 1. e4 definetely doesn't deserve an exclaimation point. Not only isn't it original, creative, or brilliant, it's only a really stupid move to play against a computer.
3. You're clearly a better player than the computer. However, your computer's rating is much overestimated.
