Performance rating or special rating is a hypothetical rating that would result from the games of a single event only. Some chess organizations [14] :p. 8 use the "algorithm of 400" to calculate performance rating. According to this algorithm, performance rating for an event is calculated in the following way: The Elo system was invented as an improved chess-rating system over the previously used Harkness system, [1] but is also used as a rating system in association football, American football, baseball, basketball, pool, table tennis, various board games and esports, and more recently large language models. players had an active rating in the range 2200 to 2299, which is usually associated with the Candidate Master title.

A F = min ⁡ { 100 + 4 N W + 2 N D + N R , 150 } {\displaystyle AF=\operatorname {min} \{100+4N_{W}+2N_{D}+N_{R},150\}} A further assumption is necessary because chess performance in the above sense is still not measurable. One cannot look at a sequence of moves and derive a number to represent that player's skill. Performance can only be inferred from wins, draws and losses. Therefore, if a player wins a game, they are assumed to have performed at a higher level than their opponent for that game. Conversely, if the player loses, they are assumed to have performed at a lower level. If the game is a draw, the two players are assumed to have performed at nearly the same level.

players had an active rating between 2600 and 2699, all of whom had the International Grandmaster title. where N W {\displaystyle N_{W}} is the number of rated games won, N D {\displaystyle N_{D}} is the number of rated games drawn, and N R {\displaystyle N_{R}} is the number of events in which the player completed three or more rated games. A statistical endeavor, by contrast, uses a model that relates the game results to underlying variables representing the ability of each player.

The highest ever FIDE rating was 2882, which Magnus Carlsen had on the May 2014 list. A list of the highest-rated players ever is at Comparison of top chess players throughout history. The normal and logistic distributions are, in a way, arbitrary points in a spectrum of distributions which would work well. In practice, both of these distributions work very well for a number of different games.The K-factor, in the USCF rating system, can be estimated by dividing 800 by the effective number of games a player's rating is based on ( N e) plus the number of games the player completed in a tournament ( m). [19] K = 800 N e + m {\displaystyle K={\frac {800}{N_{e}+m}}\,} Rating floors [ edit ] players had an active rating between 2400 and 2499, most of whom had either the International Master or the International Grandmaster title. Pairwise comparisons form the basis of the Elo rating methodology. [20] Elo made references to the papers of Good, [21] David, [22] Trawinski and David, [23] and Buhlman and Huber. [24] Mathematical details [ edit ] The Elo [a] rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in zero-sum games such as chess. It is named after its creator Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-American physics professor. Performance rating = 2000 + 400 × ( 2 ) 2 = 1400 {\displaystyle {\text{Performance rating}}={\frac {2000+400\times (2)}{2}}=1400}

For top players, the most important rating is their FIDE rating. FIDE has issued the following lists: The development of the Percentage Expectancy Table (table 2.11) is described in more detail by Elo as follows: [13] If playerA has a rating of R A {\displaystyle \,R_{\mathsf {A}}\,} and playerB a rating of R B {\displaystyle \,R_{\mathsf {B}}\,} , the exact formula (using the logistic curve with base 10) [25] for the expected score of playerA is Elo's central assumption was that the chess performance of each player in each game is a normally distributed random variable. Although a player might perform significantly better or worse from one game to the next, Elo assumed that the mean value of the performances of any given player changes only slowly over time. Elo thought of a player's true skill as the mean of that player's performance random variable.

How did ELO get their name?

The following analysis of the July 2015 FIDE rating list gives a rough impression of what a given FIDE rating means in terms of world ranking:

The phrase "Elo rating" is often used to mean a player's chess rating as calculated by FIDE. However, this usage may be confusing or misleading because Elo's general ideas have been adopted by many organizations, including the USCF (before FIDE), many other national chess federations, the short-lived Professional Chess Association (PCA), and online chess servers including the Internet Chess Club (ICC), Free Internet Chess Server (FICS), Lichess, Chess.com, and Yahoo! Games. Each organization has a unique implementation, and none of them follows Elo's original suggestions precisely. E A = 1 1 + 10 ( R B − R A ) / 400 . {\displaystyle E_{\mathsf {A}}={\frac {1}{1+10 From July 2009 to July 2012, six lists a year were issued, at the start of January, March, May, July, September and November.Elo did not specify exactly how close two performances ought to be to result in a draw as opposed to a win or loss. Actually, there is a probability of a draw that is dependent on the performance differential, so this latter is more of a confidence interval than any deterministic frontier. And while he thought it was likely that players might have different standard deviations to their performances, he made a simplifying assumption to the contrary. Elo's system replaced earlier systems of competitive rewards with a system based on statistical estimation. Rating systems for many sports award points in accordance with subjective evaluations of the 'greatness' of certain achievements. For example, winning an important golf tournament might be worth an arbitrarily chosen five times as many points as winning a lesser tournament. The table is actually built with standard deviation 200(10/7) as an approximation for 200√2. [ citation needed]
