ELO LICHESS versus ELO FIDE

really amazing how people keep misunderstanding rating system.
IT IS RELATIVE,
so lichess no FIDE can under or overrated. There is no rule that 2000 lichess shoudl be equal to FIDE/USCF. ratings are meant to find opponent in tournamet or singel game and thats all.

Obviously they are correlated but correlation is far from perfect many ways. So if you do a estimate of FIDE based on lichess rating: It is possible to come up with formula but such estimate would have standard deviation of 200 points and as such pretty meaningless
