Rating

Rating shouldn't be aliased to rank, in the context of Go. However sometimes people will use the former in determining the latter.

tderz: I fully agree with above.

A rating is a calculated measure of playing strength. The most commonly used rating in Europe is [ext] GoR. However other formulae exist, on yahoo and in [ext] AGA for example.

One starting point for studying rating algorithms is [ext] ELO

Another less traditional example is the [ext] KGS Algorithm, although one could argue this is producing Ranks not Rating.
