Online ratings are far more accurate due to the ease of finding games and their low cost. The rating system OTB is one of the biggest reasons people drop out of chess, but still love to play online.
I agree. Having a high number of games makes ratings more statistically significant and relevant for current performance. That's a big advantage that online has over OTB.
