Im just giving my 2 cents here. I have atleast 50 emails on file for people cheating. Ive concluded between 10% -30% of opponents cheat on any given day. Ive actually learned how to see it . How to catch it. Now I can see when someones partially cheating. The point is, If i have that many emails from chess dot com , than atleast tripple the ammount cheated and got away with it. You can not use your online rating as your true chess knowledge. No WAY!!!!
I think if you play higher rated opponents often and actually train towards your rating you can use your online rating as your true chess knowledge.

I don't think you should let cheaters ruin your online experience. Just play online, and if you suspect someone of cheating, report them. Don't just quit altogether.

i don't think online games should be for serious chess improvement. i just use it for wasting time when i'm bored.
OTB chess is more fun and helps you improve more.

This community is awesome , nothing but kind and helpful remarks .
It took me a little time only because I practised chess watched chess video lesson from YouTube and played otb games on chess club and after a few time I got information about chess.com later so I improved first and then only played online

Hey, what's the avg elo
On chess.com the average rating is different than on other sites. I was at the 50th percentile when I was 660 here. On gameknot.com I was at the 50th percentile when I passed 1550 (which is classical average).

1900 FIDE is the average rating so about 2300 chess.com should be the average rating of somebody who plays OTB chess.
