So I when describing how to analyzing a position you are at lost, never even consider any candidate moves or tree branches because you don't know how to and you are a one mover type.
"You are a one mover type" Lol, that's the best helpful insult that I have ever read! Because that describes me too many times! Now that I know the disease, I can set out to cure it.
Much thanks!!
Well 2200 USCF is not 2200 FIDE... 2200 Uscf would be around 2000 Elo.
This would have been true in the 1980s, but nowadays the two ratings are much closer.
Mark Glickman derived a formula by comparing the ratings of active players who have both FIDE and USCF ratings:
USrating = 180 + 0.94×FIDE if FIDE ≤ 2000
20 + 1.02×FIDE if FIDE > 2000
For USCF 2200, that should be around 2140 (feel free to do the math to get the exact value if you want
)
This formula is currently used to assign initial USCF ratings to FIDE-rated players. More information here: http://www.glicko.net/ratings/rating.system.pdf
