Chess engine rating lists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chess engine rating sources are a number of highly specialized organisations or individuals that deal with measurements of the abilities of chess programs.

Rating lists use confidence interval estimates of chess engine strength, expressed in Elo rating points.
