Hi.
What's URS rating, chess friends?
Chess-DB gives mine as 2030. While I was 2036 only for a few weaks (USCF-rating)

Until such time as they disclose what results have been included and give an overview of how the calculations work, it doesn't have a great deal of credibility. Possibly not even then, since including rapid and blitz in a ranking order for standard play just artificially pushes rapid and blitz specialists up the order.
