ABS rating?

I downloaded gnu again and now I get an "estimated ABS rating" after I
analyze a match. Can anyone help me out on what this means? I figure if I
cut out sweets and beer, and do more sit-ups my "ABS" rating has to go
up:)But how does GNU know what my mid section looks like to begin with?

In Response To: ABS rating? (chuck koval)

In the new Settings/Appearance window, there are several new tabs. You
enter your age, height, wieght, neck/waist/hips measurements, and they are
saved to the .gnubgautorc file to establish your baseline "ABS" rating.

Then the more time you squander away on backgammon, the Lower your "ABS"
rating becomes.

There are qualitative benchmark "ABS" ratings as well, ranging from
"Six-Pack" and "Washboard", to "Kevlar", "Miller-Time" to "Dough-Boy", and
finally "Michelin- Man"

Of course this is just a first-order approximation. The programming team
has just started coding the new plug-in that will accept direct input from
your heart-rate monitor, enabling a "Dynamic Cubeful ABS Rating".
