Estimate my USCF rating

Sort:
callogician

I used to play in tournaments in the late 1990s as a teenager, an I have a USCF rating from them which is ~1450 (peak rating ~1525)

I haven't played in tournaments in years, but I've gotten back into chess recently.

My ratings here are ~1600 Blitz/bullet, ~1800 standard (though provisional), and ~1900 correspondence.

I played in a three games in an over the board tournament  (G60) recently and scored 1.5/3 with a loss to an 1850 player, a win over a 1300 player, and a draw against a 1650 player. In the draw, I blundered a knight on about move 6 (simply hallucinated and moved a pawn that was protecting my knight) but managed a draw after poor endgame play by my opponent, so I consider it to be very lucky.

I really want to get to USCF 1600 to beat my dad's rating who has been inactive.  How close do you think I am to this level of strength?  I don't think I will outight blunder pieces in the opening very often in OTB games.

Hard to say. Request a couple games from Masters or similar on this site. They will be able to more accurately give you a rating within a fairly general area than the information above could.

Online (correspondence) chess tells me nothing. I don't know whether you use an engine, opening books, spend 5 hours a move, play blindfold, etc..

Live chess variants of 5 min time controls tell me the most. With 5 minutes, you should demonstrate some instinctive concepts at different rating levels.

From what you've listed, I would guess maybe 1400? Very few strong 1600s blunder pieces in the first 10 moves of the game. If not for that, then I would guess more like 1500-1600.
