The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative chess skill levels of players in competitor-versus-competitor games. ( <a href = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system</a> )The difference in the ratings (rating=ELO) between two players serves as a predictor of the outcome of a match. Two players with equal ratings who play against each other are expected to score an equal number of wins. A player whose rating is 100 points greater than their opponent's is expected to score 64%; if the difference is 200 points, then the expected score for the stronger player is 76%.Some chess organizations use the "algorithm of 400" to calculate performance rating.
