Ok that thread might too confusing.

rating (computed using ELO) -- supposed to measure skill/quality

score -- a.k.a the points, additive, incremented by 1/rank_from_rating at the end of each game -- way of rewarding players that achieve and *maintain* high rating

rank_of_rating == old ranking system, used now only to compute the increments for the score

rank_from_score == new official ranking system
