Chess Ratings Yahoo vs Chessmaster vs Chess.com

In Chess.com my rating is between 1400-1550, in Chessmaster it is barely 1050 and Yahoo.com my rating is 1150.  Is the Chess.com rating inflated or are the other deflated?  Or maybe I struggle with games where there is time or a computer involved?

    Blitz ratings are not a true reflection of playing strength. You may want to subtract about 200 points or so for the lucky games.  Fastest mice and quickest eyes win usually. Over the board games are the best reflection of playing strength.  Correspondence chess tend to suck sometimes, as some people uses computers to analyze. If I wanted to play against Fritz, I would not spend my time online.

    Op chesscube begin mens se rating met 1500 en daar is my huidige rating amper 1700. My regte rating by CHESSA is omtrent 1500.

    Ek het iewers gelees dat op spesifiek die internet chess club is mens se rating omtrent +200 van jou regte rating (as jy gereeld in n "oor die bord" toernooi sou speel).

    It may be a bit inflated by a few hundred points, and the others may be deflated by a hundred points.  Play chess at live chess and see what kind of rating you get.  That may be more realistic.   But don't worry about the numbers.  If it is inflated for you, it is inflated for everyone else.  Just compare yourself with other players, and if your rating goes up, then you are improving.
