Okay. Assuming you normalize so that the weaker player has a skill of 10, then a skill of 12 wins about 74% of regular contests.

Code:
Elo          Skill
 800         6
1000         8
1200         10
1400         12
1600         14
1800         16
2000         18
2200         20
2400         22
2600         24
2800         26
3000         28
Means Magnus Carlsson has 68 points in chess, 13,600 hours, that's probably close.
