Is there anybody that can help me how to calculate rating grade ? Although some members might play the game for fun but I believe alot of them play for better improvement the their game. My experience is :
up to 1200 - I usually feel comfortable w/ my game
1200-1400 - I can win more than I lose.
1400-1600 - Sometimes I win sometimes I lose
1600-1800- It drains my brain away to win or even to get a draw ?
1800 and up - I tried once and got easily beaten
camdawg7 :
either I lost my queen or let him do the cehck mate.
If xc5 then black wl response w/ Qxh2# - checkmate. If Qxf3 then black wl response w/ Qxf3, I wl lose my queen. What's the point of continuing the game w/ rating 1900 over while you lose your queen? Do you have better solution ?

Like it or not you must not be able to hold your laugh seeing how the game was played, but I agree w/ one point of yours- it's relatively a matter of playing skill. Frankly I really don't want to offense anybody in site (that's why I cover the player's name), just to mention that there are always different ways of enjoying the chess game.
Peter Paul on rec.games.chess post this ratings guide in 1999:
How about this for a "qualitative" ratings guide. It comes from observations of scholastic chess as well as USCF chess tournaments. One of the first questions I get when I play one of my unrated friends is "what do you think my rating is?" This guide might help if you get similar questions. Don't flame me for it not being accurate, but I'd welcome suggestions...
