What is my rapid rating worth?
Sort:
Funny thing is my uscf is 1200 and my ratings on chess.com are all over 2000

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That's from 2016, before the Chess.com switched 10m games from Blitz to Rapid, and IMHO the above rating scale is obsolete.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

Missed that, thanks a lot !
