Where are you getting this material advantage / ELO handicap ratio?

At any rate I'm also a decent amateur (2350 ELO) and it's absolutely unsurprising that a (2200+) player easily beats very strong computers with bishop odds.

I pointed some public research putting 1 pawn = 100 ELO advantage above. I used a different technique that didn't try to search for quiet positions, but calculated the ELO value of positional and material factors directly, and included human games as well. The mathematics to do so are (appropriately enough!) in a research paper from the Crazy Stone author.
