Universal rating system

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Universal Rating System (URS for short) is a chess rating system used to compare the strength of individual players.

It was developed by Mark Glickman and Jeff Sonas and used for the first time for the qualification and betting table of the 2017 Grand Chess Tour . The main difference to date by the FIDE used Elo rating is the combination of all three tenses (Classic, rapid chess and flash) with a single phrase. So far, FIDE has resulted in three Elo ratings. The first scoring list was published in January 2017 after two years of research. Monthly lists were calculated retrospectively until August 2016.
