Definition of columns in the above list:
Date of rating is the "effective date" of the rating. The rating calculation does not include any games occurring after the "Date of rating".
World Rank refers to the player's world rank on that date.
Rating is the calculated rating for the player, as of the "Date of Rating". This represents the player's estimated strength on the following day.
is the standard deviation of the player's rating estimate. It is based on a geometric average of the number of rated games played in past years. Players who play very frequently will have a smaller +/- value, indicating a greater confidence in the accuracy of their rating. Players whose +/- value exceeds 76 are classified as "Inactive" due to their infrequent play against rated opponents. Mathematically, a player's rating is an estimate of their exact strength on the day after the "Date of Rating". The +/- value represents the standard deviation of that estimate; the player's true strength on that date should be within one standard deviation of their calculated rating approximately 68% of the time, and within two standard deviations of their calculated rating approximately 95% of the time. | |
