I know I am a much better online (correspondence) player than an actual live player. But only because I get to be very careful before I make my usual stupid moves.
Live Vs. Online Ratings - Disparity
Sort:
add about 200 pts to your long game and that is about where you would be currently. Your a 1250 live, your apprx 1450-1500 CC. I am a 1350 live long, and around a 1700 CC. That seems about right.
I think it's become clear that Live Chess and the Correspondence Chess have vastly different rating skews. For example, the 70% percentile on Live Chess appears to be about 1250 while the Correspondence Chess such a percentage lands you at about 1450. At what point can you consider yourself a solid Live player? What's the difference in terms of thought processes, etc? Any comments or suggestions regarding the differences between the two?
