Don't compare the ratings at RHP with any other rating. They are totally different scales.

Is your less than 100 an ECF grade? If so it is not worked out using Arpad Elo's rating system and bears no relationship whatsoever to most other rating systems. There is a conversion system but that doesn't seem hugely reliable.

100?Yes,must be a british grade for sure.
ECF 100 = FIDE 1450

With FIDE grades you're at least 900 if you know how a horse moves 😉

The horse moves? How does that happen?

Well, it is a simple formula:

RHP (Subscriber) rating + 500 = FIDE rating

RHP (Non-sub) rating - 500 = FIDE rating

I am hugely impressed. My rating has doubled in the space of a couple of hours. If I learn how to castle will it go up again?

Simply knowing what en passant is without starting a help forum "Game error!" thread during a game in progress is worth another 58 ELO points all by itself. But, unfortunately, you have to prove that you specifically didn't not know what en passant was during a game when it was in progress.

Send feedback (link at the bottom of this page) to get a copy of the form you need submit. I think they've begun requiring proper notarization, but it only takes a month or so and it's worth the points.

That's what I said too. But I was told I needed to print off the proper "complain to the authorities" form and send it post before my dissatisfaction could even heard. 🙁

I don't have that kind of time.

Another +38 for avoiding a variation because of an e.p. possibility
