If yes, then what's your FIDE rating classical? Be honest, does your blitz rating correlates heavily with your OTB or not.

So, I just hit 122 on Puzzle Racer and I am literally in a dilemma if thats actually good or not or do I keep pushing for more? My blitz rating is 2695, but I just saw an IM score 160 and that is just honestly insane for me.

ok so i’m kinda confused about how lichess ratings actually translate to fide

like imagine someone is ~2650 blitz on lichess, thousands of games played, has beaten FMs/IMs/GMs online here and there, but their fide classical is like 1900 (and yeah they haven’t played a ton OTB)

is that gap normal?? or it is just inflated like that, or is it more about blitz vs classical / online vs OTB difference? also how much do online wins vs titled players even matter

basically trying to figure out if lichess rating is actually a good indicator of ‘real’ strength or not
