+Usage: convert_uscf #
+
+ This command will convert a USCF rating into BCF and ELO 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".
