2600? Are you frigging kidding me? Isn't that like up there with the best, famous players of all time?
Rating System On Chess.com
Sort:
Chesscube starts people out at 1500. Keep this in mind, the fact that the starting point is 1500 rather than 1200 explains most of the rating discrepency.
Well just played a guy from across the world and won the game but lost on time...but massive lag crushed me.
chesscube ratings are EXTREMELY inflated. Believe it or not, I (~1600 blitz - if I played it more that is lol, and 1900 OTB) am 2300+ plus there. It's pretty funny and stupid at the same time.
Chesscube's ratings are inflated. Chess.com uses the glicko rating system (for more details see here: http://www.glicko.net/glicko/glicko.pdf), so it is not very similar to fide or elo ratings.
I haven't played on Chess.com for years until today ... But i feel like i'm playing extremely bad ... or is it i just gotta get used to the board and premoves? But the main question i want to ask is are the ratings on Chess.com close to actual fide or elo ratings? i play on another site called chesscube..and i am usually between 2400 to 2500 rated. And on here i can get 1900 and maybe higher but i played a few 1800 today and wow they play like 2500 to 2600+ on chesscube ... or maybe it's just me i gotta get used to the new board and atmosphere?
