Thank you

I read an article a long time ago that had these approximations (ELO):

2000 is 90 percentile
2100 is 95 percentile
2500 is 99 percentile.

It really depends on what population of rated players one looks at.

The breakdown of the 2009 Annual Rating List is in BINFO 200900566.

A rating of 1881 would be around the 94th percentile among all the 62000+ players on the 2009 Annual List. That includes a lot of kids rated under 1000 and many players with fewer than 26 rated games.

if I only look at the 11,800 adults (21+) with established ratings on that list, that rating would be around the 74th percentile.

I think it was the annual ratings supplement that used to have a chart with this information. Here is the info from the last time I saw it years ago:

Rating, Percentile

1000 35.85
1100 41.01
1200 47.00
1300 53.45
1400 60.57
1500 68.26
1600 75.60
1700 82.26
1800 88.15
1900 92.34
2000 95.62
2100 97.35
2200 98.84
2300 99.34
2400 99.64
2500 99.82
2600 99.97

What is the mean rating of all rated players/only adult players right now?

See BINFO 200900566. It gives a number of statistical measures for several population sets.
