for those of you who play on FICS, i would like to know some people's standard ratings to see if they really are inflated (or if it's just me thinking funny)
I just played 3 Standard Games on FICS, and now have a provisional rating of 2050. This is great for my ego, but I know that I am not quite that strong OTB. Closer to 1700-1800 ish vs. USCF rated players that I have played. So, yes, I think that you may be right about the FICS standard ratings.
