How the classification of chess players work

There are two main systems for the classification of chess: the Elo system and the Glicko system. According to Chess.com, which uses the last method, the classification “represents its game force” and is calculated using statistics.

In the Elo system used by FIDE, the possibility that one player defeats another is calculated in a percentage.

For example, player A has a 60% chance to defeat player B. If player B wins six games, player B ranking would remain the same. If player B won seven or more games, the classification of player B would increase. If player B wins 5 or less games, the classification of player B would decrease.

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