IMBacon… I wont gain anything doing this man... so if you have nothing nice to say... just don't comment. Thanks. Beat Stockfish first before you say anything bad.
Well, nobody cares about some screenshots. It's not that anybody wants proof (because, why care?) and a screenshot is no proof anyway. But it would be interesting to see the game played here on chess.com. Show us!

@IMBacon anyway it comes down to this infamous game here on chess.com.
How do you post a game that doesnt exist?

Yes, maybe we have to live with that 
...and the trolls start coming out. All I want is an answer to the question... are there online games that give legit fide or uscf rating. I don't need proof or validation if my kid can play or not. As any parent, I was just surprised he beat stockfish. Try to lift other people up especially kids. Peace!
My 9 y/o keeps on drawing a level 20 stockfish and beats level 20 chess.com. Travel to chess events takes so much time and money. Are there official online tournaments he can join to accumulate uscf or fide ratings? Thanks for input!
Why don't you let your kid play here against real people? You can play some online chess that is rated by the USCF or FIDE, but those ratings don't really have any more validity than any of the online ratings, including the ones that are generated here.
online ratings become more accurate and valid than OTB ratings because it is a much larger sample size. the same rating system is more confident after 1000 games than it is after 40
Correct!
More sample games = more accurate rating!
At least 100 games is necessary to get accurate ratings!
Unfortunately, most people cant play 100 OTB per year.
@ergo_ergo It's simple: You said there is this chess.com game and now, maybe, some people are curious. If you don't want to share the game, it's fine, but you could at least tell us.

Exactly. And that is why 2600 on <insert chess site here> means a lot more than 2600 FIDE for example
20 level computer chess on mobile. It just goes up to ten on the website.

For years their was a USCF C player that was consistently over 2700 here. Surprisingly his account was finally closed for cheating. So no...An online rating of 2600 is not more credible than an established OTB rating of 2600.

Yes it is, because online players play more games than their OTB counterparts. There is cheating in OTB as well, and probably MORE of it because I hear of more high profile cases in OTB than online.
We will agree to disagree.

What are you talking about? I beat Stockfish level 30 on the sun, while churning butter.
