If my Lichess rating is 1600-1700, what should my USCF rating be?

That's crazy.. because in some online matches the centipawn loss is very low with no blunders (at my level). If your opponents are so strong at 1172 DWZ than I'm scared to play OTB.

I know 1400 DWZ player who has 2200+ Lichess rating. Your Lichess rating is at least 300 points higher than your normal rating (not for GMs

On the other hand I know a guy who's 2000 Blitz here and is able to beat FMs consistently in his fav. opening.
OK, thanks all for the very interesting replies so far!
The longer the time control, the lower your rating... ufff
I encourage You to proceed to any OTB tournament, don't be afraid, you will find out by yourself if there is any correlation for you and how different the game itself is in reality. Sometimes you see 1800 Fide elo guy playing like noob, and sometimes 1900 Fide destroys opponent with some crazy sack tactics and so on, so go out and try :) especially if we to speak about classical games, a totally diferent story compared to lichess bullet, or blitz ...
