I have noticed that my Tactics Trainer and Turn Based Chess scores have been slowly drifting apart.  So, I would like to see if there is a corelation between the two.  If you could include your current scores in a response it would be greatly appreciated.

Tactics Trainer: 1804

Turn Based: 1351

Mmmm my ratings would be a bad example, since they fluctuate (By almost 600 points usually...). >_<. I am so far hitting a real good streak, but haven't played a lot on Turn Based to lower it back....

IMO the two main points of chess is tactics and strategy (positional), so your tactical eye can't be the equivalent with your rating. Not sure how big the gap should be though....

Tactics Trainer: 1611 (although this tends to spike up and down pretty much everyday I think the general trend is that it is still a bit higher)
