Hi, it's an "advanced" average elo. The code is here: http://sourceforge.net/p/scid/code/ci/master/tree/src/indexentry.h starting at line 696. Basically: 1) calculate average elo 2) divide by 140 (usually it's not interesting if the average elo is 2784 or 2740; it's interesting if it's a game between 2700s or 2500s, etc..) 3) add a bonus if the game is commented or annotated 4) add a penalty if the game is a short draw I remember that i wanted to add a penalty to blitz or rapid games but that turned out to be too slow. What's the use for this? During opening preparation you want to have a look at the most interesting games played along a line. Sorting by rating allows to have on top the games played by strong players, preferable annotated and not short draws. Another plus is the ability to sort by rating and date: this way the latest games with the same rating will be showed first. Any improvement to the algorithm that calculate the "rating" of a game is welcome.
