    The Elo rating system (named after it's developer Dr. Arpad Elo) is a numerical system in which differences in rating may be converted into scoring or winning probabilities and vice versa. Most competition rating systems are based on Elo's system, today.

    Great answer. I think ELO is one of the most common mis-understandings in the chess community.

    Glad to see someone get it right 🙂
