How the Luft rating works

The Luft takes a player's FIDE rating as a baseline, then adjusts it based on their results over the last 12 months.

  • Games in tougher tournaments count for more
  • Wins against elite opposition count for more
  • Tournament wins give a boost
  • Crucial games count for more
  • Games from the last 6 months count for more than the 6 months before
  • Momentum and consistency move the needle

Players need at least 10 games in the last year to be ranked.
