Elo is a rating system, for measuring your playing strength relative to your opponents.

It's named after a mathematician dude called Elo.

... if you meant "Why was that dude called Elo?", you'll have to ask his mother.

Arpad Elo was a Hungarian born chess master and statistician who wound up moving to Milwaukee, WI.

I have a couple of books signed by him to other prominent local players.

Only his mother knows who his real father is.

Notice my technique. I troll people GENTLY. I give them a serious answer, help them with their question... THEN I start trolling.

This website is full of amateur trolls. It isn't that they don't know when to stop. The problem is that they don't know when to START. They always start too early.

Perhaps you've noticed.
