How these comparisons are calculated

Chess67 calculations from the Sep 2026 monthly rating update, using the same population as the USCF statistics pages: US members classified as active in the published monthly records, excluding lifetime-coded records, provisional ratings included. Ties share a rank; “lower” is strictly lower; national and state groups overlap. The target explorer keeps the population fixed: it is a rating comparison, not a prediction of future rank. This player is outside that comparison population; no membership rank is assigned.
