Yeah, it's been discussed many times. But, I'll give you an answer unlike the wise cracks the other responders in this thread have displayed cyberspace. From other players who have OTB ratings on here, I have discovered that RHP ratings (after 100 games) are usually within 200 points of their true OTB ratings. That's without using an opening database ...[text shortened]... the true player I am in OTB. They have no idea. This is a different playing atmosphere.
So in other words it would seem the ratings here should not be taken as particularly accurate? Or comparable?

I believe I said, "I don't think I'm ever going to be a Bobby Fischer or a Veselin Topalov." 🙂 I didn't know you were unable to read. Perhaps I can refer a reading teacher to you in the states?
PS I'm not travelling to America for reading lessons. I'm a busy man.
