What is UCI elo?

Some of the bots in the CCC have, in their information, a UCI elo. What does this mean, and how does this change the bot?

Also, if I could get an explanation on the other things contained in the bot info (Skill Time, Table Memory, Threads etc.) that would be great.

UCI is Universal Chess Interface. That is a protocol used by some engines so they can be interacted with and used to configure settings.

 

UCI Elo is just the setting for the estimated rating that is set on the engine

Threads are how many individual CPU threads that are assigned to run the engine on.

So if a bot's UCI ELO was 3500, that would mean that it plays like a 3500?

Estimated to play like a 3500. Essentially it would mean full strength, for the engine being used.

Thank you very much.

I think I know what's going on then.
