# Ranking

Anichess uses a Glicko2-based rating system. Your rating reflects your skill level across Standard matches and determines your matchmaking.

Rating tiers:

• Legend (2000+)

• King (1900-1999)

• Queen (1700-1899)

• Rook (1500-1699)

• Bishop (1300-1499)

• Knight (1100-1299)

• Pawn (0-1099)

### Earning M8 in Standard Mode

![](/files/NBYg55XVvG4GyxAmRz2y)<br>

Complete 15 Standard matches per week to earn M8, scaled to your rating class. Rewards are distributed weekly. The mission resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC.

Higher rating class = more M8 per week. M8 is used to enter Checkmate Arena.<br>
