You either have it, or you don't-LO.
The point Xanthos is being so anal about is that you don't have ELO. You have an ELO rating. It's a matter of semantics.

Von Barbleben. Good puzzles, but they have been posted here before (and correctly at that).

I` dont remember exactly (because I got ELO more than 3 years ago in 2003), but I think you need to play at least 8 games against ELO-rated op ...[text shortened]... t them.

P.S. Found more detailed description - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
The US Chess Federation adopted Elo's system before FIDE.

Anyone that has played in a USCF event has an ELO (rating).

RHP uses Elo's system, too, so all that have completed five games here have an ELO (rating).

Mark Glickman currently runs the USCF ratings, and his Glicko ratings are superior to Elo's; growing numbers of sites and organizations use the Glicko formula, which is a modification of Elo's. Elo's concepts improved, not refuted.

OK! Nothing wrong with it then?

These puzzles are so easy. What is the point of them and why are we wasting our time doing them? I think the target is
