What is your rating in real life?

Ratings always reflect the strength of the player pool one is up against. The competition on Lichess is certainly softer than elsewhere, so the ratings should be higher.

Individual ratings on chess sites also reflect how well someone does with limited time. Some guys are are incredibly quick and may achieve a high rating just by outclicking their opponents, others are slow and suck at blitz or bullet while actually being decent chessplayers.

here on lichess im average 2000-2150ish depending on the days lol..

i havent any rating yet :)

Hi how many games do we need on real life to get an official fide elo rating on may 2016 ?

@Adri22 : you need 5 FIDE-rated games (and score at least 0,5 out of 5)

@VernonHardapple Why do you think that the competition here on Lichess is softer? I doubt that, I see a lot of good chess players around this website.

And does Lichess not use the Ello rating mechanism?
