|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
The user's ratings for each type of chess are displayed, along with the
Glicko RD (or index of ratings variability), the total results from games
played, and the best or highest rating for each type. You can also tell
whether the user is (1) currently logged on and, if so, for how long and
whether his/she is idle, (2) playing, observing or examining a game and, if
so, which game it is, and (3) currently running a version of timeseal or not
(on/off). Beneath the ratings are note lines (a user's "plan" or "notes")
that the user can add using the 'set' command.
SPECIAL NOTES
-------------
o Your e-mail address is automatically displayed to you beneath your ratings
table, but is NOT displayed to other users -- unless of course you include
this information as part of your finger notes. Admins will not share this
information with other users, either. (See help confidentiality and help
email.)
o Best ratings and dates are only given *after* your RD falls below 80 for
the first time. Also, the 'best' rating will not change if your RD is
greater than 80.
o If a user has not played rated games of a given type, the rating will be
indicated as ---- and the RD will be 350.0.
o If a user is not logged on, the display will indicate when he/she last
disconnected and the timeseal section will not appear.
o Since unregistered users have no permanent ratings or notes, their finger
information usually is very simple. Here is an example:
Statistics for unreg On for: 27 mins Idle: 2 secs
unreg is NOT a registered player.
Timeseal : Off
This does not imply that unregistered users cannot set their finger notes
just like registered users can - only that these finger notes will last
only until the unregistered player disconnects.
o If a user is on one of the special lists, such as Blind, GM or Computer,
the special list symbol will follow his/her handle. The same symbols from
"who" listings will be used in fingers.
o The "current RD" displayed for a player is the RD as revised by the time
since the player's last game of that rating type.
