Ratings

How do I compare my 1567 rating to a USCF 950? Which one is better? And where/how do I find out?

Your 1567 rating is only comparable to other ratings on this website.

However, I think it's generally considered that your rating here is roughly 200-300 points higher than your USCF rating.

But is there any way to compare rating formulas?

OK ... first fact is that one's rating here does not necessarily bear any statistically certifiable quantitative relationship to federation ratings. That said ...

If the 1567 (in Live Chess, not Online) is a result of a reasonable number of games (>25) against reasonable competition (averaging at least 1400+), I'd say that the 1567 is considerably stronger than a fully-vetted USCF 950 rating.

As an anecdotal piece of info, my ratings in Live Chess here are about 1600-ish and my USCF is 1540-ish. Coincidental? Only in that they are as close as they are.

I'd guess that established ratings in both places (chess.com and federation) are reasonably comparable + or - 200 rating points or so.

One person's opinion.

Not really - they are ratings from two different places. As I said, I think it's generally considered that your chess.com rating is inflated by 200-300 points. So your rating here is much better than your USCF rating. Probably. Maybe. 

Live chess ratings are about the same as federation ratings but correspondence are a little higher.

My Live Chess is 1256 or so and my ONLINE is 1567

Then your USCF should probably be about 1250.

there are too many rating scores like ( tactics rating ,live chess rating and online rating )

why there is no one rating for all those ?

because those are different stuff

How is my USCF rating 1250 if i barely drawed to a 1169 and lost to a 1550 quite easily (George-- you dont know anything about that do you?)

It would be impossible to tell your rating from a sample size of two games. I would not be surprised at all to see a 1250 draw a game with an 1169 and lose to a 1550. "Easily" and "Barely" are subjective and have no bearing.

Tell me you have an even score in 20 games with 1169 rated players and a very negative score in 20 games with 1550 rated players and I'd guess you're about 1169. But even that is just an estimate.

 Ummmm Loomis,

I never said i only played in two games; I've actually played 9. Lol!

Um, 1plus1is3, you only said anything about 2 games when estimating your rating.

"How is my USCF rating 1250 if i barely drawed to a 1169 and lost to a 1550 quite easily"

The point is, trying to judge anything about your rating based on 2 games as you did in the above quote is not possible.

 I was only reffering to two games i played and never said that they were the only ones

Yeah, but it's the only information you gave us. The question you asked doesn't make sense because you only refer to those two games.

Clearly the answer to your question is that you played a bunch of other games that determined your rating that you're not telling us about.

It seems that the relative strength of your competition has a very significant part to play in the formula as well.

 I never said that was the only games i played though.

So we're just supposed to guess about all the other information you're not telling us. Your question was very clear: How is your rating 1250 if you drew with 1169 and lost to 1550?

Answer: How am I supposed to make any comment on what your rating should be on the basis of just the two games you told me about? I can't, no one can.

Im saying in general how could it be 1250 if i drawed to 1169 and lost to a 1550
