Understanding the Glicko rating system

"How should I solve the formula RD = min(√(RDold2+c2 t) , 350)?"
++ So RD = 350 except if sqrt (RDold² + c²*t) is smaller and then it becomes the new RD. Online the rating period is t=1. For a tournament with say 9 rounds, the rating period t=9.
"Should I use Glicko-2 [5] instead of Glicko?" As far as I know chess.com uses Gricko-2 instead of Glicko. http://www.glicko.net/glicko/glicko2.pdf It has examples of how to use it.
Hello everyone! I opened my account on Oct. 20, 2023, as beginner and I would like to ask for help from math experts: it's about the rating system. Please let me introduce my problem.
I played four rapid games starting from a rating of 800, and now my final rating is 431. Yearning to learn and understand better, I realized that Chess.com uses the Glicko rating system [1]. After studying literature [2] and prof. Glickman's papers [3,4], I tried to reproduce this calculation. For this purpose I used the list of constants and variables provided by erik
(staff account) on Oct. 15, 2009 (see forum entitled Math People Only!: Changes to how much ratings change...):
NB: I set my pre-period rating and RD. Specifically, r=800 and RD=350. Also, the rating should be written as a 95% confidence interval (r-1.96RD, r+1.96RD).
Nevertheless, I'm failing the calculation and missing the point. Also, starting from the formula RD = min(√(RDold2+c2 t) , 350), I can't determine how much time (in units of rating periods) would need to pass before a rating for a typical player becomes as uncertain as that of an unrated player (r = 1500; RD = 350). Here are my quesions:
Thanks in advance!
