In my opinion, it is the case with any chess engine that the actual Elo is about 200 Elo points above the stated Elo. This being so because
Elo of a computer = Stated Elo + (Additional Elo for SUPREME accuracy)
the accuracy of stockfish at level 5 is legendary, therefore would I be right in assuming the ACTUAL elo of Stockfish level 5 isnt 1700, but 1900-2000?

Stockfish 6 and below is easy.
Level 7 is definitely underrated in open positions but if you get into an equal endgame with a solid system it often blunders. Overall I'd say level 7 and 8 are slightly underrated. Maybe level 5 also.
AI 7 is easyish if you can get a closed position, and prevent it from castling.
some time ago i was able to beat regularly level 5, recently i had more trouble. That's also because i don't pay much attention when i play the computer and i play too fast. My rating there is currently 1775 and level 5 in some period seems stronger than me and in other periods it seems weaker. Also i'm not absolutely sure about my own rating, recently it is increasing but i don't know what to expect. Anyway, while i can compete with level 5, i find level 6 is absolutely accurate. I've lost dozens of games to it and at best i can sometime make a draw, but i think it's difficult i will ever beat it.
Recently I played with Stockfish. Level 3 - 1500. Level 4 - 1600. Level 5 - 1700.
I passed them quite easily.
But Level 6 is 1900 I can't go.
I think he's playing at 2100-2200 rating Lichess.
As with Lichess players 2100-2200 I lose.
i think level 5 is certainly better than 1700 but probably should not exceed 1800 or 1850, so it can be 1750 or 1780 or 1815, something in this range. level 6 is definitely stronger than me, should definitely be more than 2000. In a former discussion i tried to ask for an intermediate version between level 5 and level 6.
it.lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/stockfish-level-1800Shouldn't Stock fish at max level be over 3000+? Or do they purposely limit it so you can beat it at any level?
Start playing with Level 1 then Level 2 and so on.
You'll notice that Stockfish makes mistakes.
With Level 6 he has no obvious errors.
Maybe Level 8 playing at 2900-3000.
It does not issue from the start.
I saw Lance5500 - rating 2500-2600 to lose a lot of games in a row. If the forces were equal the score could be 10-0.
Should ask Lance5500 what he thinks about it?
