Players

The world's best, and everyone in the events we follow. FIDE ratings, November 2026.

Our own rating, based on who’s performing right now.

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.
