If you don't use the analyze board and don't use an opening database then I would guess your RHP rating is lower than your OTB rating.

Well, most of us make our moves in about a minute. I know I do.

yea, but you only play one OTB game at a time 😛 i can focus better

plus seeing the board in front of me helps me concentrate

I find it easier to see the board when it's an overhead view, like on this site's interface. Just my personal preference.

I often miss long diagonals and knight moves OTB that I would never miss on such a clear view as this interface presents.

ok ok i don't have an otb rating. theres never any tournaments close. the closest one is like 100 miles. anyways if you are looking to get a rating very close to your otb rating or trying to find out what your otb rating is. play very few games at a time. the reason is, set up the board at home and make your move on the board. also choose wisley when playing opponents. ok so someone is 1500 look at their graph and find out how strong of player they are. if they are playing all people higher than them or around their same rating and they are close to your rating. play them and see how you fare.

There may well be a correlation (it would be surprising if there were not) but the relationship between the two could well be non-linear. There would also be a problem with the sample in that the two ratings are not actually referring to the same thing. An OTB rating cannot be directly compared to a CC rating because the ratings are obtained under different c ...[text shortened]... atings to CC ratings is a bit like comparing the performance of a sprinter to a distance runner.
