A rank in Chess can have two meanings. First, it means the skill level of a chess player as compared to other players. Secondly, it is used to denote a horizontal row of squares on a chessboard. For example, the squares that encompass the 2nd rank are a2, b2, c2, d2, e2 and so forth. A file is the opposite of a rank in that it is a vertical column of squares.
