The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in two-player games such as chess and Go. Elo is often written in capital letters (ELO), but it is not an acronym. It is the family name of the system's creator, Arpad Elo (1903â1992), a Hungarian-born American physics professor. Elo was originally invented as an improved chess rating system although it is used in many games today.
The Elo rating system is currently the most widely used. The first modern rating system was used by the Correspondence Chess League of America in 1939. Soviet player Andrey Khachaturov proposed a similar system in 1946 (Hooper & Whyld 1992:332). The first one that made an impact on international chess was the Ingo system in 1948.
