Regarding Chess 960 Ratings

Everyday in the forums is the question of whether a Lichess rating compares with FIDE ratings or some other site.

What I'd like to know... does a Chess 960 rating reflect a FIDE rating>?

Also, a Chess 960 rating would be dependent on the time controls, so I realize its hard to pencil out.

However, I believe Chess 960 to be the great equalizer in online chess because it eliminates opening theory.

This has perhaps allowed me to beat players at Chess 960 that are rated much higher in standard chess.

Which suggests that a Chess 960 ratings are the purest indication of skill.

Is your Chess 960 rating on Lichess similar to your FIDE rating>?

> I had a few friends who played on lichess and their chess960 ratings were all noticeably lower than their standard, around 400 points lower for rapid and around 300 points lower than blitz. So I think chess960 ratings are very close to FIDE ratings, at least around the 1600 - 2100 level.
Interesting. And here I thought I was half retarded for being so low at Chess 960, but ... hang on, where was I going with that?!

All ratings have associated population Gaussians. Chart the Gaussian for each system, they will all look the same, but with differently scaled ordinate axes (because the ratings scales are different).
Plot your rating on your chosen rating scale, overlay it on the rating scale that you are interested in, track down to the ordinate value - and there it is, an accurate conversion!! Easy huh?
