How does the Elo rating of a chess player work?
A player’s Elo rating is represented by a number which increases or decreases depending on the outcome of games between rated players.

What does it mean when your Elo score is too low?
When a player’s actual tournament scores exceed their expected scores, the Elo system takes this as evidence that player’s rating is too low, and needs to be adjusted upward. Similarly, when a player’s actual tournament scores fall short of their expected scores, that player’s rating is adjusted downward.
