interest how some guys who posted their ratings 3 years ago were getting worse in chess over the years. For example the one who got from 2000 to 1700 on chess.com...

Jeremy Silman estimated the chess.com rating to be 200-300 points higher than OTB rating and that sounds about right to me.

I'm 1500-1600 OTB (currently, have been as high as 1648). Very unlikely I could ever get to 1700-1900 in Live; Daily is another story and is about where my rating probably should be at the higher end (without timeouts influencing it).

 

@Afi2b, the site here uses the Glicko rating system. FIDE uses a different system, though I don't know the exact one it can be found in the following: https://www.fide.com/fide/handbook.html?id=197&view=article

 

As to what your OTB rating would be, the only way to really tell is to play OTB rated events. Playing an OTB event is a lot different than online and until you get used to it, your performance is likely to be different in both, even if there is a correlation.
