stockfish elo display

I've seen youtube videos of people playing against stockfish and stockfish's rating is shown next to the stockfish's username.
for whatever reason, when I click "play against the computer", I can never see stockfish's rating when i play against it

can someone please tell me what to do so i can see stockfish's rating when i play against it?

I'm pretty sure that the ratings for stockfish were removed a while ago. If I remember correctly, the ratings were as follows:

Stockfish Level 1 - 800
Stockfish Level 2 - 1100
Stockfish Level 3 - 1400
Stockfish Level 4 - 1700
Stockfish Level 5 - 2000
Stockfish Level 6 - 2300
Stockfish Level 7 - 2700
Stockfish Level 8 - 3000

This list is from an old forum post of mine from two years ago on my old account, so the ratings may have changed since then and before their removal.

why did they remove the ratings?

I believe they removed the ratings when they changed all of the strengths.

so, regarding the other dude who wrote all of those ratings in this thread, are the ratings no longer accurate?

@kwn111 This is a question which is frequently asked on the Lichess forums (and elsewhere): here's a couple of links for you to explore, giving one's approximation on the Elo ratings of the eight Stockfish levels:

lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/what-elo-are-the-various-stockfish-levels
lichess.org/forum/general-chess-discussion/elo-of-lichess-ais

Lichess removed the ratings of the Stockfish bots a while back, for reasons unknown to me.

Hope that helps!

Well, I doubt they were EVER accurate. Plus they were in Elo (presumably FIDE), which is of limited use here.
