u can check his profile

Thanks!  And can u verify these titles on chesscom?

That is my correspondence rating. You cannot compare it to blitz and bullet. My blitz rating is low, and my bullet really low.

I have beat several NMs in blitz the past few weeks, but that doesn't make me an NM.

I assume that if you have a Canadian NM title, the website can verify it and extend free premium membership to you.

Does that sort of thing influence the initial provisional rating?

I don't but still xD

Not directly, but strength of competition can influence the initial provisional rating.

An unrated player paired at the top or middle of the pool might face stronger opponents than one paired at the bottom. Tournament performance will matter more. Assuming a strong performance, however, a higher pairing will usually lead to stronger opponents.

I know a GM and he started with a low provisional rating.

He is still now 2059 for 30 min games.

I was wondering about the provisional USCF rating.

Good question! I understand!

If I am understanding correctly, you were looking at the Ziryab chess.com Daily rating (often informally referred to as a correspondence rating). It is not a USCF rating, although, at least at one time, USCF had its own correspondence rating system.

That is my correspondence rating on this site. It means nothing anywhere else. It is also inflated because I routinely report suspected cheaters and employ the Dead Man Defense when a ban appears imminent.

Unfortunately, chess.com refuses to use the term “correspondence” for correspondence chess. They call it “Daily” and used another term earlier in the site’s history. The time controls and rules of play (books and databases permitted) are from a long history of correspondence chess that goes back to the days of move transmission via smoke signals, followed by several forms of mail, including email (which is now the norm for USCF correspondence).

The ICCF (International Correspondence Chess Federation) uses online move transmission like this website, but the rules differ on a critical point: they maintain no pretence of preventing engine use.

My USCF correspondence rating is still provisional, based on 24 games. I last played USCF correspondence about twenty years ago. I’ve been playing correspondence on sites like chess.com since 2003, but basically quit two years ago. I’ve played three games since.

Everything under 2850 is actually really bad. 

Anyone under 6 foot 4 and 240 pounds of hard muscles is actually pretty bad

You missed my point.

He said 2850!
