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.
For other chess games or other uses, see Chess (disambiguation). Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a chessboard, a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Chess is played by millions of people worldwide, both amateurs and professionals. Each player begins the game with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently. The most powerful piece is the queen and the least powerful piece is the pawn. The objective is to 'checkmate' the opponent's king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player's pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent's pieces, while supporting their own.
