** SAI Transitional rating system update initiated on 24th April, 2026

SAI has been using the old Linrat rating system from 2011. However, WESPA has moved to a new RJR system. We have initiated the process of transitioning the SAI rating system to the RJR algorithm. In order to accomplish this, we have introduced the ‘Transitional Rating’ in the Ratings Table.

This will be a two-step process.

Step 1 – Rating shift by 300 points for all players to align with the WESPA scale. All newbie ratings will start from 800 now.
⁠Step 2 – Adoption of the RJR rating system after monitoring the rating changes for a period of 3 months.

You will see the Transitional Rating (Trans. Rating) along with the current SAI rating till the Kolkata Open, after which we will adopt the Transitional Rating as the steady state SAI rating.

OS = Overseas foreign player (no rank)
OSI = Indian National currently residing overseas (ranked)
<20 games have a provisional rating (no rank)
Jr – Is a Junior (below 18 years of age) player
Titles displayed are:
NGM: National Grandmaster
NM: National Master
NE: National Expert
