Estimate a game result

Enter your rating, your opponent’s rating and a win, draw or loss. The app then calculates an estimated rating gain or loss using an expected-score formula.

Choose the K-factor

The calculator provides K-factor choices of 10, 20 and 40, making the selected assumption visible before a result is calculated.

03

Estimate an initial rating

For an unrated player, the app accepts opponents’ average rating, total score and number of games to produce an initial estimate.
