I don't see many opportunities for me to play OTB tournaments and establish a USCF anytime soon. Our kids are still fairly young and we are devoting a lot of our time to their interests. As such, I won't be able to play OTB very often.
Therefore, FICS will be the preferred venue for my play.
FICS has a survey bot that allows players to sumbit their USCF ratings. From there, regression analysis is completed to give us a fairly good comparasion between FICS ratings and USCF ratings.
Every time I update my rating status on my improvment plan page, I'll update this page with the latest analysis. I'll indicate where my FICS rating falls in the scale by highlighting it.
The command to get this report is "tell SurveyBot ratings USCF analyse"

Do you want me to use North Texas for city?
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Lewisville, TX and used to go to the Dallas Chess Club.
Getting to 2000
inexplicably, it seems that i do not have a link to you,
ReplyDeleteand have justed put you in my list of blogs to add, next time that i do a big edit to my links,
which are extensive and systematically arranged (that is to say, takes time and not done in pieces!).
this is all very good here.
IMPORTANT: it appears you already have a lot of work here, all excellent. did you know that you can set up your blog so that it shows the last ten or twenty posts? go to settings, etc.
this will allow folks to page back easily, and, in so doing, not hide such riches for peripatetic wandering, the real point of all this! :)
