i found some about the rating systems but this is for amerika so we have in chess.com oure owne system. :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_rating

The USCF uses a modification of the Elo system, where the K factor varies and there are bonus points for superior performance in a tournament. The USCF classifies players according to their rating (Just & Burg 2003:259–73). USCF ratings are generally 50 to 100 points higher than the FIDE equivalents (Just & Burg 2003:112).

USCF rating categories
Category	Rating range
Senior master	2400 and up
National master	2200–2399
Expert	2000–2199
Class A	1800–1999
Class B	1600–1799
Class C	1400–1599
Class D	1200–1399
Class E	1000–1199
Class F	800-999
Class G	600-799
Class H	400-599
Class I	200-399
Class J	100-199

Hi all,

This is the first group I have joined in chess. I am a class D player with very little education in this beautiful game and entered the tournament vs Asia. Unfortunately they have matched me against a class B player so there is very little chance I will be able to win this first match, but I will do my best!

Any tips on how to play against such an overwhelming force would be appreciated i.e. should I be trying to trade pieces with him or is defence a better option?
