Just wondering because I'm getting back into chess after a long time. My rating was once in the 1750 range - that's USCF. On this site I'm rated 1250 now - can I really be that bad now?? I'm wondering if chess.com's rating are a few hundred points lower than - on average - than USCF's. Any idea? Any way to find out the average user rating on this site?
Maybe the environment and maybe you don't spend as much time usually

I think the average person's rating is between 1100 and 1200.
Was your USCF rating OTB or a Blitz rating? Right now you have a Blitz rating on this site. That can makes all the difference in the world.
