Who said that you have to install a big spreadsheat application just to run the "WM-Test" ? My MS-Excel charts include "only" my results of 187 engines including the possibility to get the "rating WM-Test" automaticly. The test suite itself you can run of course "stand alone" - the formula of WM-Test: rating WM-Test = 2600 + 2*LQ - 5*GZ/100 LQ (Lösungsquote) = solve quota (sum of solved test positions) GZ (Gesamtzeit) = sum of used thinking time (in minutes) Another method to measure/compare the results is EloStatTS by Dr. Frank Schubert (also known from EloStat). EloStatTS is a freeware program for fully automated analysis of computer chess test sets given in PGN format. It produces an Elo rating list and several other statistical parameters of the tested programs and of the positions examined.
