ELO, and how it works

ELO is the rating of zero-sum games, most known being Chess. It is not an acronym, so it doesn't stand for anything.



In NUM, earning ELO depends on 2 things;


 * 1) Your opponent; If your opponent is a chess bot, it depends on difficulty, the higher the difficulty, the more you earn. If your opponent is a human, then it depends on how many moves the party lasts.
 * 2) Your current ELO rating; If you have higher ELO, you will learn less and less ELO points from beating your opponents.

It does not depend of your opponent's ELO rating, you will always win the same amount.

The same thing works for losing, but you lose more ELO than winning it.
