There are two types of ratings - rankings in the club:
λ ratings - rankings, and;
ℵ ratings - rankings.
λ ratings - rankings
λ ratings - rankings are calculated in all Blitz, Rapid, and Classical tournaments.
1. How to calculate λ ratings
Suppose player A has a λ rating of λa, and player B has a λ rating of λb.
The probability of A's winning is calculated by the formula:
The K-factor of A is:
The K-factor of B is:
The new λ rating of A is:
The new λ rating of B is:
with Per(A), Per(B) is the number of points that A, B respectively achieved in a match.
If A wins against B, then Per(A) = 1
If A loses to B, then Per(A) = 0
If A ties B, then Per(A) = 1/2 = 0,5
Note:
Per(A) + Per(B) = 1
The λ ratings is always greater or equal than 1400 ( ≥ 1400 ), so the K-factor is always in the range [20;100]

ℵ ratings - rankings
ℵ ratings - rankings are calculated in all Aleph Chess Tournaments, and all Arène Internationale d'Échecs.
1. How to calculate ℵ ratings
Suppose player A has a ℵ rating of ℵa, and player B has a ℵ rating of ℵb.
The β-factor of A is:
The β-factor of B is:
The probability of A's winning is calculated by the formula:
The K-factor of A is:
The K-factor of B is:
The bonus point for A is:
The bonus point for B is:
The new ℵ rating of A is:
The new ℵ rating of B is:
with Per(A), Per(B) is the number of points that A, B respectively achieved in a match.
If A wins against B, then Per(A) = 1
If A loses to B, then Per(A) = 0
If A ties B, then Per(A) = 1/2 = 0,5
Note:
Per(A) + Per(B) = 1
The ℵ ratings is always greater or equal than 0 ( ≥ 0 ), so the K-factor is always in the range [17^1,6;7^1,6]
