Percentile is a statistical term that describes the percentage of a group that falls at or below a certain level—in this case, your rating.

This number indicates the percentage of members who have a rating equal to or below yours. For example, if your blitz percentile is 42, it means that 42% of members on Chess.com have a rating equal to or lower than yours.

Another way to think of percentile is as the percentage of people on Chess.com whom you are better than!
