FICS ratings are higher?

I don't know anything about statistics. I just get beat more often at FICS. Everyone i've communicated with says their FICS rating is lower than ICC. As for everyone being 1500 or more at FICS, i'm lower than 1500 and half the people i play (approsimately) are lower than me. I don't know how they figure the rating, nor do i care. I would like to get beat less often. And that's what i'm working on.

you're talking about STANDARD ratings, right?

I agree, my standard rating on FICS hovers between 1900-2000 (a level that I know I am NOT) and some 1800-2000 guys there are idiots

btw my FICS handle isn't YUG0slav so don't bother trying to check
