Same for all coorespondence >Chess, it's not realistic. > >Pete i agree ,the way i look at it when i play on the internet i just want a strong game dont care about rating .the only rating a human can have that i respect is over the board .now the computer ratings are real ,you can count on them to play more or less toward there rating .but you can never stop people from cheating on the internet .#1 what if there rating is 1500 and they got a buddy with a uscf rating of 2150 , that plays for him ever so often , then what?? or what if his buddy is 2350 ??? either way he sure is not going to play at 1500 level .you at 1850 are going to lose some rating points against this guy . but i really dont see what all the fuss is about .if you really want to find out how good you are play in otb tourn facing a real person with money on the line ,the more money the harder the test and more pressure ,higher the entry fee so you have more at stake .
