Hey guys, I know this isn't required or importand, so dont mention that, same with ratings.
But anyways, I was wondering could you guys maybe do me a favour by posting your RHP rating and your CTS rating perhaps?
I want to compare them, Im interested in the difference, seems its about 250-300 rating points.
Example:
RHP: 1400
CTS: 1200
Thanks allot.

As of right now -
CTS - 1175
GameKnot - 1130
RHP/TFC - 1067
FICS - 1175ish (it was 1175, but I lost one and won one this morning and didn't check it afterward.)
So mine are pretty consistent, if not very impressive.
My FICS standard is about 1500 and my blitz is like 1200... lol
Thanks allot for your replies!
Originally posted by DeityActually I've mostly just played 5/0 on FICS. A few 3/0, but for me that's not enough time. I think the only reason my rating is along the same lines is that I can prevent checkmate long enough alot of the time. Or the other guy wastes too much time with the opening moves and leaves himself short at the end. So, its kind of a dodgy way to get the rating, but I'm sure it'll drop - I've only been on there for a couple of months and I end up playing the same person a few times in a row most of the time so when I start winning because they don't manage their time, I keep winning for a few games. It suits me a little because when I make a questionable move alot of the time it looks like they just don't have time to figure out if it was a clever plan or just stupid (which is normally the case.)

I also sometimes make a really really stupid move(accident) and my opponent takes his time calculating, its really awsome actually lol, won a few that way.
Brilliant sacrafice either way!

Perhaps I should invest more energy into CC.
P.s. What is CTS?

Great site for solving chess tactics and tracking your progress with the rating system.
I think what would be interesting here would be to find out which is the most accurate in terms of OTB. I don't have an OTB rating, but I'd be curious to know which rating is more "important" in the online world. It's one thing to spend ages on CC where you can check your books and databases and such, but which is closest to your "real" rating?
Edit - This might help me fix my sorry-ass rating... maybe. 😀
