Glikco RD
Ratings deviation. If you know statistics, it's like the standard deviation.
Your rating is 1532 and your RD is 113. That means with 95% confidence your true strength is between 1306 (rating - 2 x RD) and 1758 (rating + 2 x RD).
My rating is 1770 and my RD is 188. That means with 95% confidence my true strength is between 1394 (rating - 2 x RD) and 2146 (rating + 2 x RD).
The more often you play, the lower you RD becomes.
