Answers.Text: Yeah, but on chess.com it is quite difficult to find opponents above 1900. I found this limited my rating on this site.

Answers.Body: <p>The site is quite weird - on the one hand it’s similar to Lichess in the sense that the ratings are several hundred points lower in level than that of Chess.com; so a 2k player on Chess.com would be roughly 2200+ on Chess24. But on the other hand there are also tons of underrated players who are like 1700 but play to the level of a strong titled player as well an abundance of cheaters or auto bots due to the site’s obvious lack of cheat detection.</p>

Answers.Body: <p>The Chess24 rating has undergone some changes over the last year, resulting on it being slightly inflated compared both ICC and Playchess ratings at the moment. This is a perception of my opponents' playing strength on my part (opinion) and my own ratings on the sites (N=1), so take it for what it's worth.</p>
  
  <p>Chess 24 ratings started off at 1500, while the players who were drawn to it were relatively strong (for whatever reason), meaning people were relatively underrated in the beginning. They upped the rating at that point, and as far as I could tell and remember increased everyone's rating by 200 points on two occasions since launch.</p>

Answers.Text: It makes sense to me that they increased everybody's rating twice, because nowadays my rating on chess24 is actually slightly above 2400. So, another 100 points from when I posted this question. If you'll find any source for this claim, I'll accept your answer.

Answers.Text: It could be something to do the with the fact that you will get slightly different time scrambles on c24 due to lag and every move taking 0.2 seconds instead of 0.1 on ICC. No idea about anything else.

  <p>The reason for my question is that I used to play a little on chess24 and I had a rating of around 2100, which is comparable to my blitz rating on ICC or on ChessBase. But now after a hiatus of a few month I blitzed my rating quite steadily over 2300.

  <p>Edit: Maybe it was just stellar form. My new year tournament went very well indeed ...</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Now it's four years later and I am usually rated around 2600 on chess24 with peaks up to 2800. Seems like there is a steady inflation going on.</p>
