do you think your rating on chess.com reflects your actual rating (ucsf/fide)

by reflect im mean "near":if your rating on chess.com was 1600 and your uscf 1564(100+ or 100-)

the problem with comparing them is generally chess.com is pretty different than tournament OTB conditions.

for me; I haven't played in enough tourneys and the last one I went was stacked with players beyond my ELO.  I was a 1200 playing 1400-1500.  so while I didn't win games; it really wasn't that likely- and I lost ground. (1175ish).

I also think Blitz is so far from uscf standard as to be nearly irrelevant.  if you can think fast and have a polished opening your good at blitz; but not neccesarily up to a serious OTB encounter.  Online is also not a good correlation; as it strongly alters the game.

so, if there's some degree of correlation between USCF and chess.com standard; it is aproximate and full of lots of reasons why you might be an exception.

I don't have an FIDE rating. Duh.

thegreat_patzer

does each of the national federations provide an elo rating?

curious.   while the USA and several other countries seem to base it off the ELO system, England does something different... 

Russia for example...  obviously VERY strong players in russia, yet you never hear about any other rating but their FIDE rating.   why is this?
