ELO rating system
The ELO rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in two-player games such as chess and Go. It is also used as a rating system for competitive multiplayer play in a number of computer games. It was originally invented as an improved chess rating system. ELO is often written in capital letters, but is not an acronym. It is the family name of the system's creator, Árpád Élő (1903-1992), a Hungarian-born American physics professor. "ELO" is written in uppercase to distinguish it from Professor Élő. He spelled his own name "Elo" after he left Hungary, a common anglicization.
