user9393: On chess.com I have a blitz rating that hovers around 1000, but on lichess my tournament blitz rating is around 1500 and I can go toe-to-toe with 1600 players. Are they using the same rating systems? Which rating system coheres more to standard chess ELO?

user9402: The average blitz rating on chess.com is 1090
The average blitz rating on lichess is around 1600
So that looks just about right. chess.com is closer to Fide.
