Here is my two cents. The rating on FICS varies between low 1900 and the highs you see above. I think it's safe to say it's real rating is somewhere in between. So 2100 may be a good guess. The problem with FICS is there is a lot of cheating there (In my opinion). I was shown how easy it is to use CM6K and Winboard on the same screen to cheat. With a little practice cheating at blitz is possible so cheating at longer/standard time controls is very easy. My computer account has lost several games to 1800 players there who played brilliantly until the game was an easy win and then looked just like an 1800 player mopping up the victory. :-( Jim Walker
