RHP ratings versus USCF ratings

Hi.

I'm not looking to pry into people's personal stuff. I'm just curious, in general, and don't know how to get the answer without sort of doing so. How do people's ratings on RHP compare to their USCF ratings? (I don't have a USCF rating, so I can't use myself as aa example.)

Thanks.

The cookie-cutter answer is that it's pretty difficult to establish such a correlation.

That said, my USCF rating is 787. It's fairly outdated.

Hmm. Yes, the games are played very differently. Thanks, your answer is very helpful and informative. The point spread appears to be larger than I'd thought. Since you've been kind enough to answer so far --- just to clarify -- talking about it being outdated -- is your USCF rating from way before you started with RHP or close in time or something else .....? Oh, and it would be nice to hear what others can add. Of course, I could always consider getting my own rating.

The most common is USCF~1500 => RHP~2150

On Gameknot, Tony Palmer (famous player on chessgames.com) told me that a GK rating of 1700 was equivalent to expert. Don't know what it is here.

USCF 1800 (havent played more than a 15 games in 5 years though)
ICC 2100 standard
Gameknot currently 1850ish - limited number of serious games.

I dont think the different ratings compare well, but I am inclined to think that a USCF expert class player (2000-2200) would be 1 standard dev higher here. That is assuming of course they would take RHP as seriously as OTB rated chess.

RHP = uscf +- 500 pts.

My stats:

USCF: 1630
RHP: 1756

But the spread between the two even a year ago was much greater.

Uscf - 1580 (but haven't played any serious games in ten years)
Here - 1730

Right. It was an accident. Hence the reason for the edit.
