 The Elo rating system, developed by Arpad Elo in the early 1960's, was the first chess rating system.

 While Elo's system is a great improvement over earlier systems, it too has its problems. In 1995,Professor Mark E. Glickman (Boston University )had created the Glicko rating system in response to a particular deficiency in the Elo system 

Complicated calculations are carried out for every player competing in the rating period.

The mathematical details of the derivation can be found in a technical paper called ``Parameter estimation in large paired comparison experiments'' which is published in the refereed statistics journal Applied Statistics (48, pp. 377-394), but can also be downloaded from:

The Glicko system is currently implemented on the free internet chess server (FICS), and variations of the Glicko system have been adapted for several commercial internet gaming organizations such as ChronX, Case's Ladder, and the Gothic Chess Association.

(RD) or, in statistical terminology, a standard deviation which measures the uncertainty in a rating (high RD's correspond to unreliable ratings).

 A high RD indicates that a player may not be competing frequently or that a player has only competed in a small number of tournament games. A low RD indicates that a player competes frequently.
