But it feels like all of these are on different scales, which makes it hard to interpret them.

This is true, they are on different scales. This is also the reason why there are no ranks associated with the broken out ratings. To be honest it’s an open question as to whether we should keep the breakouts or not, at this point they are strictly informational.

I just made a script for converting the Glicko rating table:

Script to change Glicko ratings to dan/kyu ratings on user profile page

I’ve created a script that will automatically change the ratings displayed on your user profile page from Glicko to traditional dan/kyu ratings. For example my Ratings from https://online-go.com/player/37/ looks like this with the script: [image] To use this you must install https://tampermonkey.net and add this script: https://gist.github.com/killerducky/ae713c910077ac361fe089bdf8ee9af7 Please let me know if it works for you! Feedback is welcome, I’ve never used tampermonkey before, what do…

But I re-read this about things being on different scales. What does that mean? Does the formula glicko = 850exp(0.032r) use different constants? Are at least all the 19x19 and overall constants the same, and it’s only different for the smaller board sizes? Can you clarify this?
