How Exactly Is The Elo-score Calculated?

I tried to program a tool, that shows me how many points I would get/lose, if I play against a player, with the specified ELO-score. But I have a problem. As I allready wrote in the "Server Statistics Page"-topic, I don't know, how exactly the ELO-Score is calculated.

 

I did read the article on wikipedia, but at least there's one variable, the "K", that I don't know. I'm also not sure, if it is really exactly calculated like in wikipedia shown.

 

Is the formula

 

E=1/(1+10^((Rb-Ra)/400)

 

really used this way?

 

And what is the K in this formula:

 

R'=Ra+k*(Sa-Ea)

 

Is it 35, or 25 or what else? WTF

 

I would be happy, if someone could expain it to me. ^_^

ELO? THere's an Electric Light Orchestra score?

 

Explain.

 

ELO has absolutely nothing to do with "Electric Light Orchestra". Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

 

Or at

http://ufo2000.xcomufo.com/results.php

 

It's the score, that is supposed to show, how good or bad a player plays. But I have absolutely no clue, where the diffrences between the chess-ELO and the UFO2K-ELO lies.
