Maybe you can plot the variance you get to have an elo range instead of a given number
This is such a great formula, thank you
This is nice.. I suppose. You have a flaw in the premise that needs to be addressed. How does a blitz rating correlate to a standard rating?
Need real names that hint that your premise is off? Here: GM Richard Rapport STD 2686, Blitz 2600 <-- good baseline. GM Baadur Jobava STD 2705, Blitz 2585 <-- a bit lower. GM Iuri Shkuro STD 2588, Blitz 2828. <--- holy crap... hinting that blitz does not correlate to standard.
Works for me quite good
The formula gives me: 1781
My Fide Elo: 1779
i did not understand how to calculate??
@DrHack Both ratings are mediated by several common components of playing strength. Of the course the correlation is not perfect, but what is?
Shkuro disagrees with you. Blitz is a different animal.
Shkuro is about 2500. He tricks with the "400-rule". As far as I rely on my sources he played lots of games against much weaker opponents and they were calculated with a difference of 400. So he never played against decent opponents, he collected point after point gradually.
To be honest, the most accurate way to estimate your FIDE rating is to find and play in a FIDE tournament. It may be impractical, however playing OTB provides invaluable experience, not just on spotting blitz tactics but also forming long-term strategies, preparing a practical opening repertoire, and mastering the endgame.
It doesn't matter.. there are other examples of players higher rated in blitz than standard. I grabbed Shkuro because it was extreme.
Bogdanovich is another one.
Didn't see Toadofsky's post before I wrote this -- edit.
