| Mar 15, 2019 at 11:15 | comment | added | BlindKungFuMaster | In the context of chess, I have literally never heard anybody use an expression like "2100 Elo" not referring to the Fide Elo rating. That doesn't mean that all people refer to the Fide rating as Elo. But when chessplayers say stuff like "2100 Elo" they talk about the Fide rating, that is just the way it is, no need to "fix" anything. | |

(And, if you've not guessed, that's not the way I refer to it, and I'm certainly not the only one. Saying FIDE or USCF is no more difficult and is unambiguous.) | |

| Mar 13, 2019 at 21:20 | comment | added | GreenMatt | @BlindKungFuMaster: Elo is a system for calculating ratings, not a specific set of ratings. It is used by both USCF and FIDE. Others use it for other things (e.g. it is used for comparing sports teams on the 538 web site). However, FIDE & USCF have different player pools (and also "tweak" ratings differently), thus the differences in ratings across the two organizations. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system | |
