When a competitor meets, their rating difference predicts the outcome. So for example, a hundred point gap would mean that the stronger player would win 64% of the time. After each match, the ratings will adjust and then the winner will gain points. The losers will drop points. So what this really does is it measures the real ability versus just the strength of schedule. So if someone has only weak opponents, they may have a higher rating than normal. But if you look at things from an ELO perspective, it measures the true skill of these head-to-head matches, because if two very strong players beat each other, in that case, the strongest of the players will then go on to have the highest score and the one that lost will have a lower score.…
