Hello everybody!

I love to play against different engine personalities in approx. my strength. So the rodent personalities seem to be the perfect goal for my desire.
But as there are over 60 personalities, how can I find out there strength?
Is there a easy way to find it out by my self or is somebody planning to do this!
Thanks!

Only what the RodentIII dev provides right now:

https://github.com/nescitus/Rodent_III/blob/master/docs/personalities_list.pdf

or:
https://github.com/nescitus/Rodent_III/blob/master/docs/

Not exactly, what y asked for. Perhaps lateron, better info.

Thanks for the informations, Jürgen!

I think that two options influence the strenght of the rodent personalities most:

First: NpsLimit (nodes per second)

The correlation between NPS an ELO-Strength can be found in the Lucas-Chess Documentation (http://lucaschess.pythonanywhere.com/):

So by reducing the NPS of the above named engines their strength can be adapted.

Second: EvalBlur
I  think with this parameter you can influence the tendency of the engine to make "human mistakes".

With this in mind I will try to adapt the personalities to my desire.
