ECO stands for Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings. An opening has an ECO code that begins with a letter A-E then a number 00 to 99. For instance the ECO code for the Latvian counter-gambit is C40, while the ECO codes for the Caro-Kann defenses are B10-B19. Unusual openings like the creepy crawly formation are categorized under A00.

The chess books that have all the openings and a detailed explanation of each one are called the Encyclopedias of the Chess Openings, or ECO. There are five volumes and each book is over 500 pages. That's how long the last three Harry Potter books are! If you're willing to pay a lot of money to own the ECO because you want to learn all 1,329 openings and variations, then I bet you'll soon be at a Elo ranking over 2000.
