Hello,
For some reason i don't appear in the classical ladder anymore, even though i played a game in this cadence today.
I have this problem only for the classical mode
Might be a bug
Thanks for your returns
Your RD is too high (over 90, when 80 is needed). Basically, you need to play more often and/or against opponents closer to your level in order to appear on the leaderboard. This is a recent change; the RD limit used to be 110 (so pretty much anyone with a non-provisional rating could play one game a week to stay on the leaderboard).
What does RD stand for
Rating deviation. An estimate on the accuracy of the rating: your actual strength is within (rating +/- 2*RD) with 95% probability. It's part of the rating system used on Lichess:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glicko_rating_systemthe problem is, i can't find games where my opponent dont have under 2100, and also the waiting time is very long. How i am supposed to gain RD then?
We'll discuss if we need to relax the threshold, especially for Classical.
Classical is a special issue though because nobody plays it. There are indeed players with rather high classical ratings playing rather awful chess, but dubiously farming back the rating from lower rated opponents, but these in my experience are a very tiny minority, and i think for something as relatively less populated as the classical ladder, things like these should be done on an individual basis. Maybe report someone suspiciously rating farming if they seem too weak for the rating they have and remove them on that basis. The threshold should be much higher
