What does “Engine/Game Correlation” mean at the top of the notation after the
Let’s Check analysis?
This value shows the relation between the moves made in the game and those
suggested by the engines. This correlation isn’t a sign of computer cheating, because
strong players can reach high values in tactically simple games. There are historic
games in which the correlation is above 70%. Only low values say anything, because
these are sufficient to disprove the illegal use of computers in a game. Among the top
10 grandmasters it is usual to find they win their games with a correlation value of
more than 50%. Even if different chess programs agree in suggesting the same
variation for a position, it does not mean that these must be the best moves. The
current record for the highest correlation (October 13th 2011) is 98% in the game
Feller-Sethuraman, Paris Championship 2010. This precision is apparent in Feller’s other
games in this tournament and results in an Elo performance of 2859 that made him the
clear winner.
