How do Queen Alice ratings compare against ratings on other sites or in the real world? I've only joined recently and I'm trying to determine what would be a reasonable target for me. On chessbase I'm 2000, on uchess I'm only 1600. Unfortunately I live in England where we don't use the ELO system, but my ECF rating is 163.

So far on queen alice I've beaten ~1900 players fairly easily, but lost badly twice against a ~2100 player. It seems to me that theres a sharp improvement in standards for only a couple of hundred rating points which I find surprising.

First, you only played 15 games, which is hardly enough for a decent rating. Secondly, the two games you lost, you resigned. From the quick glance I gave them I don't quite see why, but that is your decission.

You must have looked something wrong, since both of the games were quite clearly lost for jahhaj.

Esnar,You are right there.

is at least another 45 moves away from a checkmate. In those 45 moves an error or mistake is of course always possible.
http://www.queenalice.com//game.php?id=235212 is indeed a lost game.

Harir, I was asking about the ratings on Queen Alice compared to elsewhere, not about my personal rating, nor about whether I was right to resign a particular game or not.
