How do chess players work

There are two main systems for the ranking of chess: the Elo system and the Glicko system. According to Chess.comWho uses this last method, the classification “represents your playing force” and is calculated using statistics.

In the ELO system used by Fide, the chance that a player defeated another is calculated as a percentage.

For example, the player has a 60% chance of defeating player B. If player B wins six games out of 10, the classification of player B would remain the same. If player B has won seven or more games, player B ranking would increase. If player B wins 5 games or less, the player B ranking would drop.

The Glicko system is more complicated and built on the ELO system, using a more complicated formula, said Chess.com.
