Glicka RD
Sort:
[COMMENT DELETED]
It's a measure of confidence on your rating number, which is only an estimate of your actual playing strength. A high RD means your actual strength may within a large range of the number you currently have. A small RD means your true strength is probably much closer to the number you currently have.
