Answers.Text: I think that the very concept of rating as objectively measuring playing strength is flawed. Suppose you had two independent accounts at chess.com and played randomly from one or the other. I suspect that these two ratings would be different all the time oscillating in some span of 200 or 100 points. Then would you ask about a conversion table between two chess.com accounts?

Answers.Text: In 2014, two years ago, my chess.com rating was 1600-1700, now it is 1850-2050, but my FIDE rating hasn't changed much because I play very few games over the board. This is another constraint on the notion of a conversion between an online blitz rating and the FIDE rating.

Answers.Body: <p>There isn't, but I believe the general consensus on this question on chess.com's forums is that your actual ELO/FIDE rating should be lower than your chess.com rating after you get a decent amount of games on both.</p>
  
  <p>I'm not really sure how much lower it should be though. Perhaps the forums on Chess.com hold the answer.</p>
