Hope this is the right section for asking questions. I'm a new member (free account so far), and didn't know this site existed till a couple weeks ago. Getting back into the game lately after many years of almost no chess at all. I'm wondering if I can get rated here thru playing on a free account, and whether that rating would correlate pretty closely with how I might rate thru USCF rated play? No I don't have a rating with them or anywhere else. I've been playing the bots here for a few games but haven't gotten any rating that way. Been using the bots and some puzzles for a few days but I didn't validate my membership thru the email till this morning. I have other questions too but they can wait for now..... Thanks
You can get a site rating by playing other members. There no direct correlation with OTB ratings, such as US Chess and some members can be +-200 to 300 different in various rating pools.
