That's not true at all. I did have an over the board rating, but I haven't played enough games in the USCF to get beyond provisional. That shows how much you know. 🙂 You just can't play your best when you move as quickly as I do on RHP. I still stand by the fact that I beat 1700 opponents OTB and have a 1509 on here.

These types of occurences - as in the following game - are numerous in my games. My whole family knows it and my friends know it's true. They tell me to play less games and take longer to think. But, I already know my strength. I don't need to prove it to the likes of Ravello. Here is the game where I was "UP A WHOLE MINOR PIECE" and threw away my bishop when I was moving too quickly: Game 1584909 These types of games can be found all throughout the 90+ games I've played. If I counted the points I've thrown away in this fashion, I surely would be in the 1700s on here. My rating on RHP is a rating made from fast moves with not much deep thinking. THat's why I have a 1500 rating on here.
Interesting.
Still working on the Lev Alburt's? Got ya rating at 1509 still i see!
You should:
a) Step-up to the plate and win you game without excuses.
b) Play less games.
c) Use longer time controls and only make 10 moves a day and make the moves for the other games the next day, thus having 4 min at least for each game. Use timeout of 3 days? ...[text shortened]... o keep you motivated.
See ya on the other side of 1700. I'm catching up to my OTB rating 🙂
p.s. This game is still an ongoing game, so please... no comments or analysis.

It indeed does the opposite.
In correspondence chess there are both "good time controls with plenty of time to think" but you seem to always claim that OTB you play better because you have more time to think.
A stupid contradiction,isn't it?
The game you posted is just bad play and says that you're not even close to a 1700............Plus no comments on game in progress!
I'm a 1700 Otb and i lost to 1289 OTB player. They call that an upset. I miscalculated my mate in 5. One slow move and I would have had him.
Now what if this 1289 goes around claiming he's a 1700 OTB player since he beat me?
Read my suggestions 1,2,3 shaker. You can play me when you rating is within 50 points of mine.

Well at least she's some what supportive of your chess. If you want to improve OTB is the way. You don't really need to prepare unless if you know exactly who you are playing. I never prepare and I get decent positions against people 1700 ish. The only time I prepare is if I know who i'm playing which only happens during the sectionals.
Also I spent a lot of time playing speed chess, and not enough slow otb.
By prepare, i mean get used to playing slower, and with good calculations
Originally posted by RahimKnot that I know anything, but I suspect you'll end up at least 1800+ maybe 1900 rhp when your rating here stabilizes. you were a lot harder in our games than other 1600-1700 I've played. I'm pretty sure ratings here are 300-400 lower than otb elo. at least those I know IRL are. of course it also depends a lot on personal style, but you're so thorough in your studying that I think you'll be stronger on CC than most. relative to otb, that is.
Me! Before they were 200 points apart but i'm coming up on it now. 50 some points apart.
btw, I finally tried that 3...c5 in tarrasch, and it's killing my first opponent. although only 1400+... it's game in progress, for at least a few moves, so you all know what not to do.
Originally posted by wormwoodI think the ratings on here are higher then OTB ratings. Ark was saying he was 1500 OTB when he started and he's 1900+ on here. He says he thinks he'll be 1700 otb because of his performance so far in the oth games and I saw his otb game and I think that also. So he's OTB rating shoudl eb aroudn 1700 and he's 1900 on here.

I still think people who are subs, and play lots of games on here have a higher rating then others because they can play more games although they might blunder more. Just a theory.
Originally posted by RavelloBut, the I make all moves in all 20+ of my games every day in a library with only 1 hour and a half to make them all. Plus, I usually make them all in 30 minutes. The time control desn't mean a thing in my life like yours, Ravello. You aren't understanding a thing I'm saying. Who cares. If you guys knew how I play on here considering my lifestyle and the internet situation I'm in, you'd know for positive I'm stronger than my RHP rating. I've proved it to myself and everyone around me in my real life. I don't need to prove it to you who doesn't even know me and doesn't understand my situation.
......and this bunch of crap should prove your point?
It indeed does the opposite.

Now you can go back to the other thread where you cry because someone "robbed" your hard gained rating points.
