Why does Lichess ratings are so much higher than Chess.com rating?

> There no such thing as overrated. Ratings are relative i.e meaningful only within pool. Since default starting rating in chess.com is 1200 and lichess is 1500 this created difference of ratings of about 300 points. Minuscule difference in rating algorithm is pretty meaningless.

No default rating on chess.com is actually 800.

IDK how but my blitz here is 1100 and my blitz on chess.com is literally close to 1400 plus I'm not even that active on chess.com

I don't know which site has the higher ratings but truth be told most people like to have higher ratings coz then they feel good about their chess.

Sure, true.

They are just using different rating-systems. There's an FAQ-Page to this I think.

Road to CM?

Seems logical, since GMs on chess.com have 3200 Blitz rating or higher if my memory serves me right.

Yeah I played a 2100 before and won but on chess .com I got destroyed by a 1400

I got a thumbs down for my comment. Unbelievable.
