The DGT Electronic Chessboard USB / Bluetooth (849$ – 999$) The reason I'm asking this question is I feel like a lot of my games have been due to luck and my rating is seriously inflated.2. I guess my question is: how well would I perform playing against someone ranked 1350 - 1400 in an over-the-board, USCF tournament? Have I even played enough to be considered as having a low RD? As a note, in my last 20 games, I haven't dipped lower than 1540, but I've been really lucky. I don't know how to determine my RD, so I can't even guess a range in which I truly belong (though I'm guessing it's probably high 1400s - low 1500s). How does one's rating on this site translate into real life? For example, since joining the site in May 2008, I have completed 265 games and am currently ranked at 1605.

I read the "ratings" post and the "how ratings work" post as well, but the threads are so many pages long that it would take me forever to find the info I'm looking for. This is my first post on the forums even though I've been a member for about a year and a half now.
