To the left of a players name you will see a symbol showing the rank.

 

 

When you first start playing you will get a pawn ranking. After about a week of regular play it will change into a knight. A month of play and a Playchess rating of over 1300 will lead to a bishop ranking. FIDE Grandmasters will be assigned the ranking of king, International Masters are given a Queen.
