+convert_bcf
+
+Usage: convert_bcf #
+
+  This command will convert a BCF rating into ELO and USCF ratings.  All three
+values will be displayed to you.  The conversion formulas are:
+    USCF = ELO + 100
+    BCF = (ELO - 600)/8
+
+  BCF ratings are the official ratings of the British Chess Federation.  USCF
+ratings are the official ratings of the United States Chess Federation.  ELO
+ratings often used in international competition.
+
+  Server ratings are, of course, something entirely different.  There is no
+exact way at present to convert server ratings into equivalent official
+ratings.  For server rating information, see "rating" and "glicko".
