More Progress Toward Class B
My USCF rating is now at 1543. My FICS rating is 1741. Since I play on FICS more often, I'd say that that rating is more useful toward indicating what my USCF rating should be as told by SurveyBot. In this case, last time I checked, my FICS rating would put me right around the USCF 1600 or Class B level. Now, I just have to back that up with more OTB wins. I have a USCF tournament in mid-April to attend, plus I will continue to play rated chess club games on Tuesdays. I think my goal for this year will be USCF 1650 and FICS 1850.

Something tells me you'll make that goal, no problem. I wish I had more OTB play, but tournaments in my area are few and far between. Are you by chance going to the HB Challenge in Minneapolis?
These figures start to sound interesting.
PMD, I won't be going there, unfortunately, with my wife 5 months preggo. I'll have to stay within my home state of Illinois this year. Next year, perhaps I shall branch out into interstate play. Yesterday, my FICS rating was briefly at 1751. I lost my Team Chess 45 45 game and am back down to 1740, but I'll get there. I refuse to let my confidence be shaken!
Tempo, thanks! I think you're already at 1700 elo, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps I'll even be at that level (USCF) by the end of the year. Who knows!
