Who has the lowest glicko rd In chess.com?
After playing many games for the past few months my blitz RD is 19. I believe it gets exponentially harder to reduce the RD value as the RD gets lower, so the move from 19 to 18 is very difficult, and whatsmore I have to constantly play chess on chess.com or my RD will increase over time (since my playing strength may change from the previous time I visited chess.com if I do not play there for months). I am not sure how many games in a day I would have to play to get the value to 18, and I am also not sure whether we can push it further down to 17 and below.

Hey Eric, these facts are estimates.:
Glicko rd 19 - 30 games a day
Glicko rd 18 - 45 games a day
Glicko rd 17 - 60 games a day.
Glicko rd 16 - 80 games a day
Glicko rd 15 - 100 games a day.
Glicko rd 14 - 130 games a day.
Glicko rd 13 - 180 games a day.
Glicko rd 12 - 300 games a day.
Glicko rd 11 - 450 games a day.
Glicko rd 10 - 690 games a day.
Glicko rd 9 - 1000 games a day.
Glicko rd 8 - 1400 games a day.
Also, there are no real users in chess.com which they have a glicko rd of 8,9,10 because that is too many games for a regular human. The lowest I've ever seen was 11, who plays about 400 games a day. (Wow). And the computers in online chess play >1400 games a day. I used to have a glicko rd of 15, but then I rested for 7 days then came back with a glicko rd of 26. But after three days, I recovered to 18.
P.S - my glicko rd is now 19.
How high does your Glicko have to be for your rating to be considered unreliable?
My blitz and bullet are around 30; my rapid and daily are much higher. 70 and 112, respectively.
Mine is 19 but I definitely don't play 30 games per day in blitz.. is between 15-20!
Consistency is the key. Playing 15-20 games a day for many days in a row should get you a glicko rd of 19, whereas playing 200 games per day for only one day will not get you a glicko rd of 19.
Mine just went to 18 ive gradually gone up in bullet chess to 10000 games over the last 2 years. Idk why but im better at bullet than any other. Well actually im best at chess 960 but theres no accurate rating for 960

Its not just about the number of games, its about how consistently you play against your opposition. You should win 50% of games against those rated the same as you for example, and score as predicted for those above and below you of course. But many opponents are not accurately rated, so you can win or lose games unexpectedly, and in streaks, which has nothing to do with you or the accuracy of your score or your Glicko RD. On the other hand, more games would tend to make your Glicko RD more accurate.
Not sure where I'm going with that LOL.
