Four games gives you a provisional rating and after 25 games you will gave an established BKR.
BKR. BKR means "BrainKing Rating" and is calculated by US Chess Federation formula(*) for each kind of a game separately according to your game results. Click on a game type to get the current list of rated players sorted by their BKR.
Formula can be found:
