Apples and Oranges

Post by shammer » Tue Feb 01, 2005 2:03 am

i'm interested in hooking up with my local USCF club. if my net-chess rating is 1529, can i expect to be on par with club players with similar ratings or is it completely apples to oranges. i know the ratings vary some with different pools of players, but i'm curious as to how some other peoples various ratings match up...

They're completley different. My Net-Chess rating is 1975, but my USCF rating is 1421.

Not the last, I'm sure. Just the latest. ;)
