We have tried to est but cant do so for all as each countried methods might differ for eg; in Aus rating the players are stronger for there respective ratings i notice then players with f.i.d.e. ones . But at guess about 200 points give or take.
Chess Rating Conversion
Sort:
If you are anxious about rating, you are going to a tourney for the wrong reason. Maybe we could play a game together or you could send me a game of yours to look at. I have been playing for 12 years and would be glad to help you.
Subtract 200 points? I learned how to play better chess by playing my computer (WinChess 5). I've only played a few live games with roommates, but they likewise are below tournament level. If I went to a tourney it would be just to play and socialize with live chess players (which are sparse in my existence). I understand that ratings should mean nothing in comparison to the spirit of chess being the pursuit of skill.
However, I don't feel like a complete beginner. I can hold my own against WinChess for at least awhile, and even beat it once (admittedly low time settings ^^).
Chessroshi, mind playing a tutoring game with me and pointing out my missteps? Thusfar I've only learned through negative reinforcement (i.e. being mated for careless mistakes).

I read the sticky post about the rating system, and it seems that there's a consensus that "it doesn't really matter beyond assessing relative strength." However, my question is if anyone has figured out a means for converting their Chess.com rating to a reasonably accurate rating in some of the popular rating systems (UCSF, ELO, etc?)
I'm pretty novice and am too intimidated to play in live tournaments, but I figure that if I can figure out my relative strength beforehand it could alleviate some of my anxiety.
