Take the Bratko Kopec Test Online
We’ve updated our online Java applet that allows you to take The Bratko-Kopec Test to make it easier to use and more compatible with modern browsers. You can find it linked from our page about the test.
The Bratko-Kopec Test is a fairly good estimator of chess rating, although it is certainly not perfect. It has been used in the computer chess industry for three decades as a fairly standard test of computer performance, but we have shown correlation with human performance as well.
The Bratko-Kopec Test is also one of the many tests featured in the book Test Evaluate and Improve Your Chess: A Knowledge Based Approach, and the CD-ROM based on the book.
