playing otb im like a 1550 but online i have a 1400 and a 1200 in online and live chess respectively but then again i practice new openings all the time online when the article on the english opening came out i went down like 200 points on live from trying it out
Im sure this has crossed many peoples minds, one of which was mine.
Chess.com seems to have grossly off CC and live ratings. Ill use myself as an example.
OTB - I am usually rated 1600, however on Chess.com CC I am currently 1793! Only another win from 1800, 200points, a full division off target. ( I wish I was that good.) Then - on live chess, (blitz for the most part) I am right around 1400 - 200 points less than my OTB, and 400 points off my CC rating.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct these innacuracies? Also more examples are welcome.
