Chess ratings online & REAL ELO RATINGS

Hi, I'm wondering if my chess rating on Lichess is the same as real life, or is it higher than FIDE ELO rating points? My blitz rating is 19xx, then how many ELO points my blitz is? Thank you very much

Thanks for that information, it is the most comprehensive explanation I've seen and might take some time to get through it.

Tomorrow we will still have this question come up of course, because it is one of the most frequently asked questions in the online chess world.

So if you could just post this daily at 9am your time, that might stop a lot of new players coming to the forums, but I doubt it.

The real question is after all, how do I compare to others?

The answer is, that envy and jealousy is the most useless of emotions and judging is killing us almost as much as comfort.

Play Zen Mode, don't worry about ratings and keep it playful. Is my suggestion.

Where will i post the link as my comment #4 will exist forever. so if a person googles something like this, he can come to this forum post and look at it. If there is a effecient way for it, pls tell me

secondly, i did not understand - The real question is after all, how do I compare to others?
@Kling_Asymmetric You are asking the wrong person about where to post stuff, as I'm not technically savvy in the least. I have trouble attaching photos to emails, let alone providing information on how to do it.

For the most part I was being facetious about you posting daily. However, if you submitted this idea to mods they might see the benefits of providing a link if they deem the material fit to print. Which I can't see why they wouldn't.

As for the "real question", that is more of a philosophical view point about the state of society in general.
got it @Sacmaniac , actually they should include this, or some other link in the faq, i know some active mods, i will personal message all
