Red Hot Pawn Vs ELO

As frequently stated, the formula is simple.

for subscribers: RHP rating + 500 = FIDE rating

for non-subs: RHP rating - 500 = FIDE rating

I assume you are being sarcastic?!

Thanks much, I like oranges and apples 😉

anyone know what the median (middle rating) for RHP is?

As of this very second, there are 17392 players on RHP. The 8696th player is Mickeymongoose, rated 1320.

This will probably no longer be true by the time you read this.

Go ahead Mickeymongoose!

I know someone that is 2100+ FIDE and is struggling here to get 2000 (with no success yet 🙁 ) -not a subscriber

I know someone that should be about 1800 FIDE (it is not a rating, only a subjective evaluation based on HIS OTB level and results in friendly games) and who is 2200+ here. - a subscriber

so it is difficult to compare...

or in my case, both ratings are similar

You need mental help!

There is no correlation between ratings in one realm and ratings in another.

In ELO rated games, when a player receives a 2500 rating, he prepares to play for norms.

On RHP he is purged for cheating 😉
