What is the difference between fide ratings and ratings here
Sort:
If you can't understand the image:
1) above 2000 Elo, FIDE rating roughly matches Rapid chess.com rating.
2) for lower Elo values, add 600 and divide by 1.25 to get FIDE estimate:
FIDE(if <2000) = (RapidChess.com + 600) / 1.25
RapidChess.com(if <2000) = FIDE x 1.25 - 600
3)
For blitz/bullet:
FIDE = (BlitzBulletChess.com + 950) / 1.5
BlitzBulletChess.com = FIDE x 1.5 - 950
USCF behaves like FIDE above 2000 and like chess.com blitz under 2000.
This is an approximation and simplification, do not take seriously. Source.

Utter nonsense. I hope the "calculations" are not yours, else I would start to wonder if you ever passed a math exam at school.
First of all, the starting point for FIDE classical ratings is currently at 1400, while the blitz and rapid ones are at 1000. Second, comparing statistical data from vastly different pools makes no sense at all. Third, due to the multiple K factors FIDE ratings fluctuate in a different way. Ald last, there are no FIDE bullet ratings...
@Mazetoskylo, I provided a source. The FIDE line is simply projected back as if it could start lower. The trend remains linear regardless. These are real statistics of players who are cross-rated in FIDE, Chess.com Blitz, Chess.com Rapid, Chess.com Bullet, and USCF. Source also has some Lichess data. When a large number of players have ratings across different systems, meaningful comparisons can still be made, at least in a simplified way. See, I added this: "This is an approximation and simplification, do not take seriously". I welcome constructive criticism, but your comment comes across as unnecessarily harsh and dismissive. There's no need for personal attacks or questioning someone's basic abilities, such as passing a math exam.
