That is true, i can only seem to make a draw with any of the
Crafty bots on FICS. They are touch, and in 15 minutes i just dont
have enough time to think when playing them (dont we wish we all
could think that fast).
currently now, i think i am rated somewheres around 2107 on FICS,
and i have no idea what that relates to irl (fide or uscf), as I
have never played a tourney.
How do the rating systems compare, in the sence of if i am rated
2100 on FICS, what would be the adjustment for other rating systems
so that I could know where i stand?
thanks,
drauku
ps -> just to put in my 2 cents, i hate blitz games. chess is about
player the player, not the clock. if you make someone think,
then you are ahead in blitz games, and that is just not fun to
me. i dont get it, and why it is so popular in internet chess
(i have only played yahoo and fics online chess). i just dont
get it.
