Seems nobody bothers to read these days
The question was RANKING not RATING
The answer is the higher your rating goes then the the higher ranked you are however this is reflected on this site as a lower number
i.e. on this site
Ranked no.1 at this moment is Akizy with a rating of 2453 followed by no.2 ranked Weyerstrass on a rating of 2405
At the other end of the table ranked 13464th is GODISWITHME with a rating of 737 closely followed at 13463 by stuntman61088 on a rating of 743

how come "golden king" is able to have 3001 rated points?
Akizy is the player to have achieved the highest rating using only honest methods (i.e. playing very good chess on his own).
