Women’s and men’s share of the rating list
By default, values are percentages of the full rating list on each date (women or men in the band ÷ all players; birth year vs list year; unusable birthdays excluded from age buckets). Use Y-axis → Count for absolute player numbers. Men + women shows a stacked chart (men lower, women upper; in % mode, shares sum to 100% of the list, or to the band’s share when a band is selected). Pick one band to plot that slice; pick both an age and a rating for the intersection.
Players with Standard, Rapid & Blitz ratings
Stacked composition chart from 2010 onward. Each bar shows the share or count of players on each list date by rating-list coverage. Use the legend to hide or show specific combinations.

Age rating records
Standard (classical) only. For target age N: each player’s highest published standard rating on any list in calendar year ≤ birth year + N (so it can be from when they were younger than N on that list). The table shows the peak list: list year and age on that list (compact y/m/d if we have a full birth date, otherwise a year band such as 14–15).
