Just read your own posts, and it will stick out like a sore thumb, I am sure a sharp lawyer like you will see it, sooner or later.

We could start with your rating 😀

Show some proof it is what you say it is, cause it has changed a few times !!

I haven't lied about my rating. Next.

Do you think somebody who doesn't know what "OTB" or "Over the Board" means could get a rating of 2120 here?

BTW: I played in my first OTB tournament a few weeks ago, I scored 3/6 in the 1200-1600 section. The first game I was a bit nervous, and my opponent played the Yugoslav Attack with g4 and then h4 against me, and psychologically I was beaten on about move 11. He was rated about 1300 and completed the attack with superb efficiency which I was really surprised about.

The next game, I again played the Sicilian, but played Nc6 before g6, and my opponent again went for the Yugoslav setup, so I went for the Najdorf, an opening I had never played OTB. I slightly misplayed the opening and he got a very strong attack going against me. Luckily he was unable to complete the attack, and I was able to counter and win, with 80% of my moves (after about move 15) matching Fritz 10's first choice. He was rated 1350, and had me in terrible trouble.

I easily beat a girl rated 1370 when I was able to bust out some tactics on her against the French, which I had only faced once OTB before.

My next game, I made 22 moves in 6 minutes as white in the KG as I had a party to attend. I went a bishop up against my 1412 opp, but then left my rook on the same diag as my King and he was able to win it. I would have been a B+p V R down, so I resigned.

I didn't play my 5th game, but the rating calculation doesn't take that into account. 0-1

I won my opps bishop early in 6th round, but I nearly allowed him have the draw. His play was defensively solid enough, while still only being rated in the low 1300s.

I would probably be rated in the low 1200s after that performance.

Does it mean anything in relation to my CC rating?

Does your OTB rating and your RHP rating differ by 600 + points?

The USCF Ratings Estimator puts that performance at 1346. http://main.uschess.org/content/view/7875/195/

People on this site who think that an RHP 1300-1500 is at the same level as a 1300-1500 OTB tournament player (usually a very experienced tournament player) are sadly mistaken.

geeze... that's very common and has been covered/discussed here numerous times. Very Rusted you should be ashamed. 😳

You can say that again. Witness Ragnoraks lecture notes above and i have been completely trashed by 1100-1200's players. My USCF rating was never higher than 1250.

if a 600 point difference is very common, then I think the game mods have lots of work on their hands !!

I thought it would have been much worse than that.

I have always thought I was overrated on here, but I guess you are rated what you are rated. I was very surprised at the strength of my OTB opponents, especially in terms of opening theory, an area I knew I would struggle with due to the lack of database and good memory.

I would have won the KG game if I had just taken a minute to regroup after I won the bishop, but I had decided to blitz the game, and that was that. I ended up having to wait for the better half for about an hour and a half when I got home anyway, but c'est la vie.

I was too hungover to attend the 9.15 start on the Sunday morning after the party, so that counts towards whatever my rating might be.

BTW: a buddy of mine who started playing a couple of years ago, and is now pretty much about 40-50% against me OTB did terribly in the tournament despite having been rated in the high 1800s on here. In his first game, he had 5 minutes left on his clock after about move 17. He got 2 draws (again due to time problems) and a win (bye). He also missed the Sunday morning game, so scored 2 from 6.

He was a database freak, spending hours researching the best lines in certain openings (Najdorf esp). Unluckily for him, he didn't get to play his pet openings, but he did learn that so much opening work to the detriment of his tactcs/strategy was incorrect and has now adapted the way he plays on here.

A several hundered points difference is common, your complaints seem a little misplaced to me. Your statements don't make any sense, unless you are trying to hide an accusation somewhere under that sneering veneer.
