Guys! I am around 1630 in uscf ratings but my ratings here are so low! Why?

Avatar of cooldog19132

Is it because I am not focusing while I am playing online?

Hmm. You are 1557 in rapid.

Doesn't seem "so low."

How often are you playing USCF tournaments?

Avatar of cooldog19132

A lot

I heard that your chess.com ratign should be 200 points higher than your USCF

I think chess.com is very close to Uscf ratings, not sure about 200 points

That is odd. Well, a simple explanation is that some people are better online, and some over the board. Although I believe that Chess.com rapid is about 300 points more than USCF, one, that is my opinion, and two, there are disparities in one's performance in OTB vs online. You may just have to get used to online chess if you have played OTB the majority of your chess career.
