Is this also the case for ACF ratings above 2000? <BR/><BR/>A raise is always happy news. Congrats on the 40 extra points you may sport now. Keep on adding those points!From the patzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499383398575774704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8084619245099614590.post-39273056783658416602008-12-12T08:44:00.000+11:002008-12-12T08:44:00.000+11:00es_trick: thanks!During my Christmas dinner, I had...es_trick: thanks!<BR/><BR/>During my Christmas dinner, I had a chat with some of the players and I'd notice that below the 2000 level, the FIDE ratings and the ACF ratings are showing a bit of disparity. Meaning that the ACF rating is underrated by between 50-150 points as compared with the FIDE ratings.<BR/><BR/>That means that an ACF 1800 rated player is probably around FIDE 1900. Australia seems to be suffering from ratings deflation.

If A...A gain of 40 points is nothing to sneeze at. If ACF ratings are calculated in the same way USCF ratings are, then it's probably an indication that you played at a considerably higher level than your previous 1500 rating.<BR/><BR/>Cheerses_trickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15511350526999060149noreply@blogger.com
