My chess.com rapid rating is 1600 - so that's a 500 rating point difference.

I doubt our players would support this (especially at the top), but I wouldn't object to gradual changes to make our ratings more similar to other systems (i.e. gradual deflation).

My chess.com ratings are more or less -200 points compared to lichess (blitz/classic/correspondence)
The same for training ratings...here about +200

"My chess.com rapid rating is 1600 - so that's a 500 rating point difference."

Do you regulary play at chess.com? Have you played there recentlty?

There was a lichess breakdown recently and I went back to play a few games. I got 1700 opponents and did beat them with relative ease. I can't believe that a lichess 2100 can have problems with chess.com 1600 rated players. Of course if this rating was reached long ago, then it is entirely possible. I left chess.com 3 years ago with a rating of cca. 1720 ( and back then it took quite an effort to reach that rating, which was my peak rating when I left ). There was a rating inflation there since then due to provisional players allowed to choose higher rating than 1200.

@sakkozik I think my 2100 rating is inflated, but yeah, it's been a while since I've played rapid on Chess.com.

I really do not play blitz bullet da games. But 6 years ago I played about 5 games blitz at chess.com my blitz rating there about 500-550 I do not know where 1200 comes from. Besides playing blitz or bullet is like playing a computer why worry.

I read that many chess.com players use engine assistance. If so would this drive ratings down due to a large pool of apparent strong players?

@phlegm I assume that chess.com has some basic protections in place to ensure the rating pool isn't heavily manipulated.

I'd actually argue that our rating refund policy contributes to inflation... IMHO a supplemental system to measure personal achievement (or a ranked ladder) is a better yet challenging to implement idea.
