Okay
I don't know why they start you at 1200 instead of zero, but Chess.com ratings are as accurate as known to be, in the given pool of players playing rated chess games here. From my understanding, the ratings are about 200-300 points higher here, than FIDE ratings in over-the-board tournament playing.
Okay thank you.
It starts at 1200 because 1199 was too low and 1201 would be just a bit too high.
Okay
I'm still wondering about post #2 though.

My rating on here is around 1600 while my "real-life" ECF rating is 113 which transponds into 1504 elo... so chess.com ratings are only slightly inflated I think. But I have just recently lost a few OTB so my real-life rating will now be between 1450-1500. My live chess rating (long) is about 1460, so that rating I believe to be very accurate. Well done chess.com :)
I agree (more or less) with trysts: Chess.com is around 300 points higher when less than 2000 and 200 points higher when over that mark.

Hey, AC, what was that opening called that I played against you? Is "Pirc-Caro-Kann-Thing" accurate?
They start at 1200 on here because that is a mean average rating. In other words - your average person who knows how to play chess will be rated about 1200. Beginners and novices will lose to a 1200 and their ratings will drop. Intermediate level and advanced players will beat a 1200 and their ratings will rise. Hope this helps explain it a bit more.

Well said ; and explained .
Why does the rating start at 1200 not 0 like in real life. And what is the conversion to chess.com ratings to real life ones? Please help I'm confuses
