This is a no brainer for any long term member of th Blitz. What does ELO in the ladders (i.e. first column from the right) stand for?

Thanks

The Elo rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of players in two-player games such as chess. It is named after its creator Arpad Elo, a Hungarian-born American physics professor.

In club terms the higher your ELO the better your performance has been against opponents with equally good records. ;)

Does it mean that if I collect enough ELO points I will get discounted ticket for their show? ;)

The discount and one of those little squiggly type bulbs.

JB-Von Luck listens to them on his grammaphone...big fan I hear...

That's why Von Luck is known as an old crank? ;)

I put my teeth back in to smile.

Von Luck...I guess I'd lean towards "old salt" with "crank-like tendencies"?

I used to be one of the old farts, and still am of course at the double nickel, but having met this bunch I realize with the right preservative you can extend your shelf life and game into your 90's...
