I am sorry, but can someone explain to me why the link some of you shared here is at all relevant:

That's from 2016, before the Chess.com switched 10m games from Blitz to Rapid, and IMHO the above rating scale is obsolete. My Blitz rating precipitated after the aforementioned change.

I posted the latest updated one from 2021.

Thanks for sharing this. I had a look and it feels a little off in places. It suggests that 2040 rapid is equivalent to 2210 FIDE regular. That just doesn't seem right to me. I can see that it is probably impossible to find a neat formula.

Rapid is only easier around the lower ratings(1500 ish) at 2000 and above it's quite hard compared to blitz. I wouldn't be surprised if your playing strength is 2000-2150+ FIDE.

Of course the real test will be to one day return to OTB chess and play in Fide rated events. Until then, practice and rapid chess!

Shows how inaccurate your USCF is.
