Similar methodology, but it is a completely separate ratings pool so ratings from one pool to the other can't be reliably compared.
Does Chess.com utilize the USCF rating System?

I know, I've worked hard. I'm almost 2000 USCF and was curious if I am playing at the same comparative level here.

Just curious if it is the same. Also, what % of players on chess.com are experts (over 2000) for any given catagory? If the rating system is the same, it is my understanding that it should be the top 5-7% or so.
Thanks!
No, the USCF uses a modified Elo system and chess.com uses the Glicko rating system.
Whats a modified Elo?
