what is your standard and online( 2 day per move etc) ratings? those are much more telling of OTB success

-waller-

I started at 16, consider that late when I see 11 year olds with master ratings and whatever, and have also had very limited OTB experiences (less than 10 serious games) Anyway, 4 years later; now I'm 2000 in bullet and well above that on chesscube. Although, more encouraging than a thousand bullet games is a single game I played against a 173 ECF (~2000 FIDE) a couple of weeks ago; felt comfortable and won the game.

You should try OTB - ever since I played a tournament in the summer I have been less and less interested in online and blitz play Cool

Nothing can compare to the feeling of walking into a tournament with hundreds of chess players in a single room, and then beating some of them ;)
