Originally posted by buddy2you're talking about STANDARD ratings, right?
I don't know anything about statistics. I just get beat more often at FICS. Everyone i've communicated with says their FICS rating is lower than ICC. As for everyone being 1500 or more at FICS, i'm lower than 1500 and half the people i play (approsimately) are lower than me. I don't know how they figure the rating, nor do i care. I would like to get beat less often. And that's what i'm working on.
