Not me lol. I'm slightly underrated...

I agree, the gap between 1400 and 1600 is not much, but after 600 games your 1500, and 110 points lower than me. But yes, your slightly underrated.

I literally reached 1600 then tilted... now I have to play longer TCs so I don't get dirty flagged.

It'll take longer for my rating to go back up.

Yep. I bet that you could draw me. But again my highest rapid is 1800+.

Aun is shamefully underrated but lacks a bit on the mental side of the game. I should know, I've nearly lost to them... also I was crushing 1800s but struggled to reach 1800 myself, if you've dropped below a peak that means either your play has gotten worse or your opponents have gotten better.

Bet you didn't lose 250 points in two days at blitz like I think I did.

Oh man... that must be painful.

Had a bad cold and couldn't think properly. By the time I realised, I'd lost 150 points and so I kept on going because it wouldn't be hard to get back up, I thought. And I was wrong. Normally I can lose 70 and then put on 80 in two hours.

Man. The only chess when I play is bullet when I'm not feeling well. I couldn't care less about my bullet rating lol.

First of all, my blitz rating is "casual" and I am really 1400. My past 10 games (although horrible) have gained me points. That is some proof. Second of all, I am 1650 in chess. Blitz is a different matter. It requires different aspects than chess, especially 3+0 Blitz. You as a blitz player should know that. I talk that I am far more experienced that some of the others because my rapid, or chess rating is higher than theirs. This position is a matter of personal preference, and maybe you prefer black because you played only one game and do not know or understand how blitz is different from other time controls.

On the one hand, you declare that you're "far more experienced" than others because your "rating is higher than theirs".

Yet earlier, in this very thread, when I (someone with a much higher rating than yours) pointed out the merits of a specific position, you scoffed and acted like you know better.

You even warned me, "Think before you talk again," as if you're some all-powerful grandmaster, here to correct my ignorance.

So clearly rating doesn't matter. You simply act as if you know better than others, regardless of rating or ability.

I'm pointing this out because you apparently don't seem to realize you're doing this. Or, rather, you feel entitled to do so.

Perhaps, with some self-reflection, you'll be able to change this, and you'll approach the game with a bit more of the humility that it deserves.

Just some food for thought.

Well another option (mine) is that you reached 1800 after 2 or 3 games and then went down as you played more rapid games.

Nope I grinded from 1200 rapid to where I am now. My rapid immediately fell, glicko is still pretty low. I just hit a new peak (1802 I believe) and then tilted 50 points. I wasn't ready to maintain that rating. It wasn't provisional.

not really, you say you are a advanced player but the fact of the matter is that its way far from the actual reality and 1600 aint much at all. if you are saying that you have the skill of a advanced beginner i would agree with that but i never would say that you are a advanced player or close to being one. i agree still has quite solid points on your behavior and i wont deny that you are decent but the statement you have made about higher rated players really doesnt seem to be clear with me given our interactions.

It depends on what you consider advcacned

what would you mean by that? thats another line that doesnt make much sense, you are calling yourself a advanced player right? that seems really bonkers to me and some others as we mostly would disagree with that logic so what are you even trying to state at all?

One may consider a 1650 rated player advanced. Another may consider a GM is advanced. And another may consider 1400 is advanced. I simply believe that 1650 is an advanced rating because It is considered that 1600 is Class B and Class A is Expert so what is below expert? Advanced.

but aren't those classes for otb?

Yes but I consider OTB to be similar to a chess.com rating, although maybe there is a small difference.

By ‘small’ you mean a couple hundred points?

Truth is no one knows the answer. My CFC rating is 1600 and my rapid here is 1650.

Interesting. Is your OTB provisional?

1600 cfc would be around 1500 uscf which would be around 1400 fide. that's as REAL of a chess rating as it gets

By "Think before you talk again," I meant that maybe you should take everything in the position into consideration and think of it like it is in a classical game, not a blitz.

By your own admission, you're 1650 at chess. That's a relatively low level of play, when you consider the full spectrum of chess abilities.

Heck, even I, at the 2200 range, still have a lot to learn. When it comes to the master's range, I'm essentially a beginner at chess.

So when a stronger player than me talks about chess, I do my best to listen.

If you truly want to do better at chess, you should do the same. Argue less. Listen more. Be open to the possibility that your current beliefs are wrong. This is how you'll learn.

I wonder how that would translate into an otb rating at slowplay, say 2 hours each per game. Or perhaps Daily 3-day here? ChesswithNickolay does talk down to people but that's what kids do because other people do it to them and therefore it seems normal to them. He seems ok to me. Still, your comments were positive and they're what he should be hearing from others.

I play better at slower timers (as I assume most people do). More time to blunder-check and properly calculate.

Blitz is certainly a different beast, I agree with you there.

I have no idea what my OTB classical rating would be. We'll probably never know, as my wife would never tolerate me running off to play in a chess tournament.

You make a good point about Nickolay being young. Didn't realize that until now. Explains some things.
