Can someone tell me if there is a connection or relationship between one's chess.com rating and a USCF rating. As an example, my Chess.com rating is 1660, but I am quite certain my USCF rating would be under or around 1000.
Any comments would be welcome.
Can an expert please tell me after how many moves the rating adjustment kicks in, is this the same amount of moves when a game starts at move 4???????
Rating adjustments are per game and not per move!

There is no relation between any 2 different ratings. You can try some approximation, but the approximation keeps changing when people enter/exit in one of the system. The rating is comparitive strength of play within a group of people.
basically:
everyone starts out with a rating and a variable that determines how accurate your rating is. if you haven't played any games, then that variable is HUGE and allows your rating to swing more aggressively. but if you have played 1,000 games all very recently, then you have a low variable, so your rating will move more slowly. also, your opponent's variable matters. if they have a very loose variable, your rating will move less than if they have a tight variable.

Hey Eric, I'm wondering why my rating has reset itself to 1200. I was at 1820 and happily sitting there for a long time only playing unrated games, if at all. Today I played a game for the first time in a while and found that my rating had plummeted by 620 points. What gives? Thanks!
Your rating goes up more by beating players with a higher rating than you. You were supposed to lose, so here's a reward... maybe you're better than the system thinks.
In playing my first game on Chess.com, I received a rating of 1200, before I played. Why, and how was that arrived at?

i don't think you lose points by winning. i think you lost/drawed a game against someone low or there was some glitch
Thanks for clearing up the rating , I thought I had done really well achieving 1200, another of my fantasys gone up in a cloud of smoke. I see I now have 2 member points how does one acquire these member points.

...and about that game you played here- would you consider that that was a video game you played?
some youngsters seem to think so.

On the subject of giving pieces points, I've seen books that give a Bishop 3 1/2 points and a Knight 3 on the basis of greater mobility for the Bishop. I agree with Viswanathan though. It all depends on the position. With lots of pawns on the board a Knight is more useful often as the Bishop is hemmed in.
turtle, the general points system followed is as follows:
pawn - 1pt.
knight/bishop - 3pts.
rook - 5pts.
queen - 10pts.
of course points are not everything... the position of your piece also matters.. for example you might not mind losing a bishop or rook to save a pawn on the 7th row.. and points dont have any bearing on the game result.. it is just a basic framework to help beginners understand the value of different pieces
the queen is 9 points, not ten
hey guys,
i take 1,150 or more when i have a rated battle. Is this good ? Sorry i'm probably new in here so i don't have enough information. Somebody talk about the unimportance of rating, and i think this is so important because this prove how your good in chess moves, right ?
