I would like to know what the ratings are in real competition.
My (belgium) rating is 1862.

Well,since this is a closed(and smaller) playing pool,you cant expect a direct correlation.However;assuming the Belgium rating system is similar to the US one(my apologies if this is an incorrect assumption),I've read that you can expect your established rating to wind up being 100-200 pts higher roughly.I dont make any guarantees of course,but this is probably the best answer based on what I've read here on the forums.
My personal advice would be to just ignore the rating and enjoy the games;or if you do use it to judge progress or for comparisons,then just use it as it stands alone on the site.Also bear in mind provisional ratings will vary wildly,then settle down some once a player has hit the 20 game mark and becomes established.
I'm pretty new here so if I'm wrong on anything,hopefully some of the other players here will correct me soon.Hope this helps!

Several other people have asked this question as well, and it seems, anecdotally at least, that your net-chess rating is roughly 500-600 points above your "real" rating.
My OTB USCF rating is around 1600, but on here it is in the range of 2000 - 2300.
It's a popular question, and you can find other posts on this topic in the message boards if you dig through it. There are some good explanations on how the rating system works and the math behind it.
