Elo Rating vs. Winning Probabilities
(credit to http://ascotti.org/programming/chess/elo.htm)


This table shows the correlation between the difference in Elo points and the probability of winning a game (in bold). So for example if a player has won 60% of her games against an opponent, she would be approximately 72 Elo points stronger. Conversely, a player that is 150 points weaker than his opponent, has only a 30% chance of winning a game.

This is their work, not mine. I just copied and pasted it here.)
