I don't play on lichess, it's a bad site, this site is much better.
Chess.com does dumb stuff like this fairly frequently though...

None of the columns add to 100... particularly the draw column which only reaches 38.8%.
This is highschool level stuff. Maybe they should hire a 15 year old as a mathematics consultant.

Around 2200 in both sites.

Draw column is missing timeout vs insufficient material, which can be a high percentage in bullet. (It's also missing the fifty move rule, but I'm not sure I've *ever* had to actually invoke that one.) Don't know off the top of my head why wins and losses wouldn't add up, though.
typically Lichess rating is equivalent to chess.com rating * 0.75 + 650
eg 1500 on chess.com = 1500*0.75 +650
= 1775

2400 lichess, 2600 chess.com. mainly cuz i dont play much lichess
I found this table, but I think is totally wrong. For me the difference is 500-600 points. I play regularly in both sites.

My rating In bullet
lichess 1500, chess.com 1000
In Blitz
lichess 1650, chess.com 1050
chess.com is more competitive than lichess when it comes to rating until 2100,,,when it reaches 2100 and up, lichess and chess.com almost equal...thts why i prefer chessdotcom than lichess...it is is hard to beat 1600 players in chess.com while it is average to beat 1800 level in lichess...

However, I'm in the top 0-4% in every rating category on chess.com and the top 10-12% on Lichess.

I've followed the discussion in this thread and understand Lichess generally has higher ratings until around 2100. What I don't understand is the following:
A rating of 1675 in rapid puts me in the 98.4% percentile at chessdotcom
A rating of 1868 at lichess puts me in the 81.2% percentile. To reach 98.4% you would need a Lichess rating of around 2300. That's a nearly 600 point gap for percentiles.
What conclusion can be drawn from the percentiles/rating comparison between sites? Does it mean there is a 600pt difference in rapid rating, or does it mean the Lichess pool of players are better on average than chess.com? I assumed, wrongly I guess, that I would have a similar percentile between sites (it's gradually creeping up at Lichess), but I have a hard time believing I will eventually reach 2300 at Lichess.
Thanks for any insights you can provide!
My Chess.com rating is 1184 and my Lichess rating is 1464.

From what I have seen, Lichess blitz is much easier for beginners having more consistent and competitive matchups for them. Its about the same as chess.com for experts. Roughly a 300 higher rating point difference on avg due to the different system and playerbase. There are of course exceptions. There is a little 8 yr old russian girl i follow who is 2200 blitz on chess.com and 1850 on lichess.
Classical on lichess, is just way way harder then chess.com imo and not nearly as popular. But I would recommend lichess for beginner blitz players for sure.
Your Lichess account was closed for abuse.

Since GMs seem to play on both sites, I'd say Chess.com having higher percentiles suggests that there are more beginners here.
The rating system only cares about the difference between two player's ratings, so there's a lot of freedom in choosing the range. You could set up a site where the average is zero. It would function just fine where people below average have negative ratings, and people above it have positive ratings. Most sites choose to have their ratings loosely mirror FIDE where the best players are around 3000.
Percentile is unrelated to all of this, and only depends on who joins the site. If 50% of the people who join are better than you, and the other 50% are worse than you, then you'll be at the 50th percentile.

... to put it another way, having tons of beginners join wont change your rating (which was not intuitive to me, and is an interesting point IMO), but it will change your percentile. And a site can manipulate everyone's ratings, but it can't manipulate people's percentile.

Are you still mad I disapproved of you admitting publicly you made a new account to see the effects of rating manipulation? Call me a troll for that all you want, but Shame on you again.
What's funny is, I've admitted to something similar (and in posts you've read) but you ignore that and instead make up something I didn't say.
In other words you have legitimate lines of attack against me, but choose these silly trollish methods.
Lichess is higher for lower rated players, and the opposite for higher rated.
I'm about the same on both (it's equal around 2200 for blitz).
Interesting. I'm 2300 on LiChess and 2100 here. I feel like +-100pts is quite a high disparity
Yeah, I'm a little higher on lichess than here (have been over 2300).
Also I haven't played on either site seriously since march... so I'm not the best person to ask.
