Hi All,
How does this work? right now I only play chess in chess.com with chess.com players ... ok cool / fine.
However what rating do they use to play rated games with USCF ... how in world does that work? as we all have valid USCF rating and we all have a Chess.Com rating to which "both" are different by far ...
So how does this work when people play rated games on chess.com? what rating is used and how does it all work?
Thank you
It depends on how the affiliate/TD running US Chess Online events does it.
If they're using automated events on site, then Chess com ratings are used for pairing purposes.
If they events are paired by hand and players challenge each other, then the pairings could be done by the appropriate US Chess rating or the TD could use chess.com ratings if the player was otherwise unrated or lower rated under US Chess.
In either case, when events are submitted to US Chess their rating rules are used and chess.com ratings have no influence.
