My personal rating is about 1850/1900 OTB, while on chess.com I'm about 1650. Chess.com has really lower points than real life, especially for middle-ELO players. If you are an IM or more, then it's the countrary. There are players with 800 points on chess.com playing blitz games, that are likely 1700s ELO fide players.

its the opposite for me , i am 1058 FIDE and 1600+ chess.com , i havent played OTB in 2 years but my cc rating has always been higher than OTB

Are you really 1058 FIDE?? It's almost impossible to find someone so low at FIDE. Look:

It's almost impossible to find someone less than 1100 rating FIDE, and that would be the worst players in the world, and your 1625 rating at bullet is not the definition of being the worst player in the world.

As I have already told , I haven't played OTB in the last 2-3 years and both those articles are outdated , both are from 2014

According to the data I gathered on this website: chessratingcomparison.com 1500 chess.com blitz is about 1300 Fide.

the way to study this i reckon is to go to the us chess group and the fide chess group(?) (if there is one on here) and to look players up and compare their chess.com ratings to their otb ones. i'm tempted now grin.png but we'll see if i do it. i feel like is daily is more compact definitely at the top end of the scale though, so might be closer to fide ratings in terms of how they equate to playing strength.

Well @DavidDoesChess that site is a little off for me, since my chess com blitz is 1200ish and my USCF classical is 1663

Yeah. Time controls make a huge difference. You can spend as much time on one move as a whole rapid game. Some people thrive in shorter time controls and some in classical. The data people have gathered is a statistical average and there are plenty of outliers on both ends.

That kind of variance is to be expected, I hope you added your ratings. Every bit helps!

Do you have a standard deviation for these data?

No, I created a metric called average variation because I believe that will be more accessible to most people. That being said, I hope to make the data available for download in the next few months so anyone could do their own analysis.
