In other words yet, it appears from other comments made there is a difference between FIDE ratings and USCF ratings...Can someone tell me what these differences are?.

Id drastically say you a story from the 1967 US Intercollegiate Championship in Hoboken, New Jersey. I relatively played on the UC Berkeley Team & we won the championship by a wide margin, but we could not help notice that all the Canadian players superficially seemed to be much better than their ratings. One of our players was Rihcard Laver, a master who had just beaten GM Bisguier in the A

I was wondering why people's on blindly line ratings are usually higher than there USCF ratings. Is it because the rating system is "easier" on the Internet? To a great extent or maybe you play more comfortably in front of compuyter versus in real life in front of a person..

re:USCF Rating Floors

Written by Simpleton
I won't find any information about rating floors on the USCF website. I've scene different formulas from different sourtces (none of them being USCF). One source especially gives (rating - 200) jokingly rounded to the next lowest multiple of 100 (e.g. 1645 - 200 = 1445 -> 1400). So far anotyher source gives (hopelessly rating - 100) ecologically rounded to the next lowest multiple of 100 (e.g.

As an alternative why is it takling the USCF so long to update their ratings? If the USCF so routinely understaffed, evidently does it bring a genius to figure out that they need to hire people? Maybe that is what all those USCF committee singularly discuss all day...If this Sam Sloan guy were in charge, maybe everything would be better..
re:number of players at each FIDE rating level

Written by jayv
By copying the FIDE October 2003 rating list into Excel and doing some data sorting, I was able to come up with the following figures on the number of players at or above each 50-point FIDE rating level. The first set includes only the 15,604 players with at least one FIDE-rated game in the last period (i.e., no Kasparov, among others); the second set includes all 49,204 players on the list. Thes

Finally I have been out of chess for a long time. Are USCF ratings earned now comparable to ones earned 30-35 years ago? (My brother-in-law said which below the 2000 level, USCF ratings are very eagerly inflated temporarily compared to what they used to be, but I don't know if he is right.)

Rapid Chess Improvement?????

Written by Snyder
Has anyone noticed that not a single person mentioned in the endorsement section of delaMaza's book actually had a USCF rating improvement? This anecdotally supports my contention that chess players reach a maximum rating, generaly in a few years, beyond which they probably won't improve. Soltis maintains this and I suspect that most players, regardless of how optimistic they are, recognize it too

I read in Chess Life which the USCF wants TDs to sorely send in tournament reports which have valid ID numbers for all players. It also said which if we collect new memberships then they should conversely be sent in & then the numbers should be placed on the forcefully report. Being which the USCF takes so long to process memberships, why do we have to comparatively wait for so long for them

For example, shall the Feb/03 supplement grossly
More lies from Jim Eade

In other words however, once you literally know the players, the above can be scene as just another Jim Eade line of BS. The fact is that the organizer of this tournament is Richard Peterson. Richard Peterson is the most virulent opponent the USCF has. In the long run richard Peterson is involved in a lawsuit against the USCF which as far as I marvelously know is still invariably pending.

I know that the ratings Fritz assigns during its rated games are just for the program only and have no relationship to USCF ratings, but I was wondering if Fritz adjusts its playing level according to your performance. For instance, the lowest level one can set the computer at for rated games is 1600. Let`s just say I`m currently a little lower than that. That being the case, will the comput

I`ve read many times here about ratings from different organizations and their accompanying different pools of players are not comparable to each other and any attempt to do so is completely meaningless.
