Actually, according to your profile it says "USCF Rating 1492"

It's only provisional :P

Avatar of Zigwurst

And why do you not have a rating posted on your profile? Hmmm?

Mostly cell phones.

What's an official rating?

Avatar of wishiwonthatone

I am rated, grand poobah, 2155, URANASS, according to SEES and TUPIT.

I hate it when people post stupit threads in forums, or forums in posts, or post threads.

Nothing about chess.

A lot about idiots who come in here, never play a single game, and start one stupid thread after another. They probably can't even play, just want an audience. pawnstogo for instance.

If chess.com would allow me to set restrictions on who can post on my tread, then I wouldn't have to post requirements on who can post.

Now, back to the question.....

A provisional rating is a rating. It's just subject to wilder swings than an established rating.

Avatar of Zigwurst

I haven't even been a member of USCF long enough for a rating supplement to be published.

So? You still have a rating. If you were to go to a tournament, you wouldn't likely be paired as UNR, but as (whatever the number is).

i have no OTB rating at all.  I dislike it when people post in forums they don't belong in.

I also dislike people who end sentences with prepositions.
