"... the rating scale itself is an arbitrary scale, open
ended, . . . with no reproducible fixed points. ..."
- Arpad Elo, Chess Notes, 1988.

Somebody once proposed that one could have a
reproducible fixed point by having a program that
would calculate all possible legal moves in a
position and randomly select one. My guess is
that this would not produce results that would
be consistent enough to be helpful. What do
other people think?
