user9136: How does a chess rating at Lichess.org compare against a rating in real life, in classic chess (more than 8 min)?

user7525: I played a 2150 who had a 2190 fide
It's hard to tell though with lower rated players though. Also, 8 minute isn't a normal time control for rated games. 
Lastly, I wouldn't worry so much about ratings and instead worry about your progress measured against yourself. 

user9399: The largest problem with sites like LiChess and Chess.com is that the standard pools are not very reflective of Over The Board rating. Most people play chess online for the Blitz and Lightning games. Chess.com recently came out with some statistics that showed that their Blitz rating pool is roughly the same as USCF currently. I do not know how well that would translate for the Standard pools.
When I was 1900 playing G/30 games on Chess.com and ICC (Internet Chess Club), I was rating roughly 2100/2200 on both sites. This was years ago though, so again, not entirely sure how accurate they are.
