My online rating is >2000, tactics is >1900 (a bit low at the moment), blitz (not stable) at ~1300. USCF is >1600. Ratings are -very- hard to meaningfully compare. Some ratings may be horrendously out of date (my online rating two years ago was still >2000 but my USCF was 713 because it was 10 years out of date), or skewed by any number of factors. I can play with a clock fine, and I can even play OTB blitz fine, but for some reason online blitz is different. Maybe my board vision in 2d isn't as good, who knows, but I'll play probably 300 points stronger OTB versus online in the same time control.
Huge difference between live- and online-rating?

Lol. Haven't had that done to me yet ("gee...didn't know my phone could fly long distance too..") but back-in-the-day, i've literally had my Nintendo (obviously playing Chess Master) ripped out of the tv, and drop-kicked out the balcony by an ex-gf during an raging episode of pms!!
(It still works-20yrs later heh-btw after dusting it off, taking out pieces of grass...never found the cartridge cover, though)
