USCF and chess.com rating

ChanMan4 · 2025-04-25T18:36:56-07:00

I have like a 1200 uscf rating and I used to be like 1300, somehow. I've played around 60 games of uscf and I don't think it matches my chess.com elo. Ive seen like 1800s on this website that have like a 1200 uscf. Maybe bcuz I pretty much only play unrated on cc, but i sometimes lose to

I wouldn't take USCF ratings seriously either. They're inflated compared to fide ratings

quite the opposite actually (i do take fide ratings seriously tho)

i saw a kid where his FIDE was 1720, and his USCF was 1520. I would've registered, but the second highest person was a 1487 that I knew, that that is so second class
