Which time controll for average/ball park OTB rating

Hi all

I dont have a OTB rating but would playing standard live chess 15/10 on chess.com give you a good ball park figure of your OTB rating

Nope. OTB ratings for slow-play in most federations (e.g. USCF) require a time control of at-least G/30 (with or without a 5-second delay)

Anything faster is considered exclusively quick time control.  Not sure but guessing ELO/FIDE or even BCF would want even longer games?

Also : Actually playing OTB in rated tournaments is the only CORRECT way to figure out your comparable OTB skill. 

A lot of factors come to play at tournament chess that online/live chess cannot possibly map apples-to-apples to.   The correlation might be there, but it is fuzzy at best (though good OTB players do just as well online if not better!)

probably inflated by around 150 points? probably more sometimes. assuming normal online playing conditions/circumstances of course (ie no funny business going on). 

according to the fide handbook anything less than 15 minutes is considered blitz. 

its true what the guy above stated as well. that otb is a completely different beast requiring at least a few different skills than online play.

you can look at people who have official otb ratings and compare that to their internet ratings to get a general idea.
