chess.com rating inflation

I got a FIDE rating of 1198 after 5 games. I played against 1900s and 1700s that is other thing, and my blitz rating here is 1700 after 4000 matches so i finally would like to say that the inflation here is 500. 

Fide rating= Chess.rating-500(might vary to 300 or 400 also)

Play more, it’ll rise. This site is over rated but only 200 or so points. Also if you didn’t play blitz otb that maybe part of difference.

Meh.  Losing games to you won't change my attitude towards you.  When can I throw games to you?

On a side note, doesn’t it make sense for online ratings to be higher than otb? You have to join a federation then find a tournament that you have to pay to be involved in. Of course the competition is going to be more serious. But considering rating is just there to get evenly paired it seems to work here just fine.

5 matches =/= concrete evidence....

The ratings are not that inflated in my experience. My blitz rating is only like 50 higher then USCF for the most part, and occasionally like 100. Lichess however is super inflated.

Shit I’m 1800 there. Maybe some blitz games would be fun.

I have '0' Fide rating. Never get OTB rating. But here I always have 2000+ rating in any time control ( rapid game rating is not on this account but on my friend account while training/ teaching him how I will play vs others)

And I was able to hit 2160.

Just realized it's been exactly a year since I made the last post.

SItes aren't "overrated" or "underrated." Your rating is only valid within a specific pool of players, and it is accurate within that pool
