Obviously there is no right answer to this.
But how do you think glicko compares with elo?
I am 1600-1700 in every area. So would I be about 1400-1500 if it were elo? Since ELO starts at 1200 and glicko starts at 1500?
I meant 1300-1400 elo.
The only way to be sure would be to use the ELO analysis based on the games available. It would require analysing all the rating changes of all the people you played, they played and so on. I don't think there's really a sure way to say this is X points different.
If it helps, the Australian Chess Federation (
auschess.org.au) also uses Glick (slightly modified) and they'll often list a player's ACF rating and the FIDE rating, so it might give some indication, but I'm not certain how large a sample size you'd need to be sure.
I don;t need to be sure. I just wish someone could chime in that has both an ELO or FIDE and an overall Glicko rating.
Or if someone has any other information.
Maybe have a look at Matetricks, then. I'm not sure what the USCF use of the two, but he should have a FIDE rating as well as the USCF one.
hmmmm well Matetricks has a USCF rating of 2341, which is slightly higher than his Classical, slightly lower than his Bullet, and a little over a hundred points below his Blitz.
So it seems as though the Glicko system on Lichess correlates pretty equally to certified ratings, based only on this guy.
Cool. So I'm basically a 1600 player? I believe it. Haha.
I need to play OTB....
I don't think they are accurate. I crush people rated 2400 on here sometimes and on
chess.com I have problems with 1800s occasionally, so imo this is more bogus.
Well on FICS I am 1600 just like on Lichess :P
Plus I seriously doubt you "crush" people that are 2400. Can you refer me to some games?
Maybe you won, but that doesn't mean crush, and I doubt it's a repeatable occurrence.
I just started playing on this site a few days ago. I am 1903 USCF and 1930 blitz on here with about 50 games completed. So blitz rating is probably around your USCF rating.
I don't know how lichess standard rating compares to USCF standard.
