Just as an informal study of the accuracy of RHP ratings, how bout
you give your USCF, ELO, FIDE or whatever club rating you have,
see how close it matches RHP. To start, here my rating is mid 1500's.
My USCF is around 1700. Whats yours?
Excellent analysts that are less capable at memorization/visualization will always have a much higher rhp rating.

it should only be compared to CC ratings.
When I make moves (I guess I shouldn't be admitting this!)
I don't think I take more than I would at an OTB tourny. I forget
you can spend as much time as you want on a game. I only did that
for one game so far, a tricky endgame that I actually got out a board
and analysed the hard way. If I hadn't found one saving move it
could have gone into a draw but it didn't get that far cause the dude
resigned way too early. I pointed that out to the guy, it turned out
he wasn't even using a board, just the screen so lost out on what
could have been a draw.
