Subject: SSDF and EloStat Elo-calculation algorithm ?

Hi,

I would like to understand the theory of the Elo rating systems used for
computer chess. I have searched for a while on google, and found references to
the name of Ken Thompson, but not his algorithm/theory. The docs of EloStat make
a reference to the CSS German magazine, but I could not find an electronic
version. I also found Mark Glicksman's papers, but they do not seem relevant,
since they seem to mainly deal with time-varying strength.

So, any description of the algorithms used by the SSDF and EloStat would be very
welcome (I can read German).

Thanks,

Rémi
