First Blog Post

Hi All,

Please take a look at the first blog post on the chess goals website! You can subscribe to that blog on the left sidebar of the page. Please let me know your thoughts if you have feedback. Thanks! Here's a preview:

The ChessGoals rating comparison page has been updated with over 350 survey respondents. Here is the methodology for creating the comparison table for Chess.com Bullet:

• Use chess.com blitz ratings as the independent variable since most players have a chess.com blitz rating
• Only keep players who have chess.com blitz and chess.com bullet ratings
• Plot the chess.com blitz ratings (x) vs chess.com bullet ratings (y) and remove outliers
• Create a formula that’s either linear or 2nd order polynomial, based on which matches the data best
• On the comparison table calculate the predicted chess.com bullet rating for each chess.com blitz rating listed (100 or 50 point intervals). Chess.com bullet ratings rounded to the nearest 5 points.
