Hi all
At some point in the everlasting "Cludi deciding to leave" thread there were an interesting discussion about the rating difference between CC and OTB.
I personally think that a rating difference of 100-200 points are quite normal but when we are talking 400,500 or maybe 600+ I just don't understand how that is possible.
But why not l ...[text shortened]... atest rating ( he never throws anything away 🙂 )
RHP: 1950
OTB: 1807
Difference: 143
I am surprised by the number of people who have a higher Elo than RHP.
My USCF before I quit playing years ago was around 1880.
RHP just jumped back over 2000.
