The Engine Aggressiveness Score Ratinglist
The world's first engine-ratinglist not measuring strength of engines, but engines's style of play !!!
"Elo is not the end to the means, playing style is, and Stefan's EAS tool is still the best around to measure aggressiveness." - Ed Schroeder (Computerchess legend, author of Rebel engine and famous chesscomputers (Mephisto MM IV, Polgar, Milano, Risc and many more!)), 2024
"Very cool! I like the EAS-Tool. Also the game selection was awesome!" - GM Vidit Gujrathi (world ranking #26, Indian Chess Olympiad gold medalist in 2024), 2025/07/28 on Lc0-discord
The EAS-Score is calculated by my Engines Aggressiveness Statistics Tool out of the games of the gamebase of the UHO-Top15 Ratinglist (main-site) (120000 played games overall). Download the EAS-Tool here

EAS single statistics Highscores (Top 5 Engines)
Mention, all EAS-Stats are percent-values, not absolute numbers. So, a weaker engine (with much fewer wins than (for example) Stockfish), can achieve high EAS-Stats and Highscores, too...
