Is your rating too high on Chess Tempo?

[utzchips]

I've attempted 100's of problems here, and I find that my rating on ChessTempo is about 400 pts higher than it was on ICC when I played there. Does anyone else see this in their ratiings?

I haven't played in about a year, and when I did, I found myself always playing speed chess instead of studying, which eroded my game.

I attempted at least 100 problems here before registering, and it was riding a bike, and I slowly increased my rating here by approaching every problem as if it was the the one I had to get right.

Hi Utzchips,

The ratings here are not really designed to be comparable to your rating on ICC (or any other rating systrem).  The main purpose of the rating system here is to allow you to gauge your progress on this site and compare yourself to other users on this site. 

Regards,
