I've never played in tournaments but on redhotpawn my rating is something like 1600. On this site I don't have many games, but my rating is climbing to about that level.

But playing LIVE chess on chess.com, I can barely break 1200. Sure, I tend to blunder more but it shouldn't make that big of a difference. So what's deal?

I don't know. Why don't you try asking Carlsen, OP?

My last unit was 82nd Airborne. Right now I'm in SWC waiting to start language school.
