Hey all, I am somewhat new around here. Great site!
Just wondering about this. I don't normally place any emphasis on ratings especially at internet sites, but it seems to me that ratings here are not calculated according to the standard ELO formula, hence ratings are not all that accurate. Can anyone (admins preferably) support/disprove my claim?
Also, just to get some idea, it would be nice if some of you, in case you do have an ELO rating from some federation would post your ratings. I just want to see the correlation between the RHP ratings and real ELO ratings so I can tell better how strong people here really are.
Thanks,
I am USCF 1598 btw, but my rating isn't too accurate since the last tourney game I played was about 6 years ago.
