Performance Rating Of a Game

Very likely...
However, perhaps, some players will be liking it too, like me :)

I'm pretty much sure that there are people complaining "my 1200 opps play like 1800s all the time and chesscom doesn't care" ... pls don't bring this here, thanks.

I saw this feature on chess.com the 1st time this morning. Using my new account, when I was analysing my game, I got something like this : "Performance rating : 2300, opponent : 1500", while my rating was about 1800 and opponent was about 1700-1800. Of course I was glad seeing that. :)

However, this is just a feedback which can be rejected or ignored by lichess. Never mind.

It would be good if everyone understood what to think and not think about it, which is obviously not the case.

I don’t think this is useful information by any means. The difference between myself and a good player is not that I always play bad games and they always play good games. The difference is that I play bad games more often than good players, and they play good games more often. In other words, the strength of a player can only be determined over a range of games. In my 11,000 games on lichess there are certainly a number of games that could have been played by a grandmaster on their good days. The problem is that I have played much more games where this is not the case. The fact that I have played a game “like a grandmaster” is a non-information and at most gives a wrong impression. What chess.com told you there is that you played a single good game. Congratulations, that’s awesome and I am always happy when I see that for my own games. But ACPL would convey the same information. Assigning a rating to it is a wrong usage of rating.

Thank you very much guys for sharing your opinions . Because this is only a feedback, now based on your opinions, I think we can conclude this feature I propose is not needed at all. As M0r1 suggests, the ACPL can represent the same purpose.
