The grading system
The Scottish Grading system is based on the system developed in the 1950s by Professor Arpad Elo, and used by FIDE in its lists.
The Elo system uses
probabilities to calculate the value of a result to a player; in simple terms, more credit is given for defeating a much stronger player than a player
of around your own strength or below. The other side of the coin is that losing to or drawing with a player significantly lower than yourself
will be costly.
