Why is my rating on chess.com 1252 but on lichess it is 1662?

@Bellendo Thank You! I want to smack you but it would be animal abuse. Reason I said thanks is because you made my rating points 25 lesser. You're the greatest at advising wrong!

OK so I see that you are one of these "I am a tough guy online" types......

Calm down, take the time to play some real chess, don't take yourself and your bullet rating so seriously.

Ratings on Lichess tend to be inflated by a minimum of 300 points.
I just use it as a relative reference point for playing against other players.
not inflated. different rating system. elo and glicko2 are completely diferent things, with glicko2 being more accurate

Chess.com does not use Elo - they use Glicko, which isn't that much different to the Glicko 2 method Lichess uses.

The fact is that your rating is not an absolute measure of how good you are at chess: it's a RELATIVE measure of your performace within that group of people. Lichess and Chess.com have separate pools of players, so your rating between the two sites - even at the same time control - aren't really comparable.
