Ladder

Ladder

A fluid method of ranking chess players within a club or other group. The ladder is usually established by listing players according to their chess rating. Any player may challenge someone one step above them on the ladder (sometimes two or more places). If the challenger wins, he moves up the ladder and his opponent moves down.
