What YOUR Chess Rating Means
Ever wonder what your rating means compared to all other ratings??? This SUPER ACCURATE list is GUARANTEED to make you 2% more woke, or should I say "Moke" (Hans MOKE Niemann)
100-199: 🐒
200-399: Very Weak player, either you are in 1st grade and just started chess or you have very recently learned how the pieces move and need to develop your analytical thinking
400-599: Early Beginner, some vague resemblances of strategy and opening theory appear beside hanging pieces and scholar's mates
600-799: Beginner, you now probably have some grasp of basic theory and can beat your non chess playing friends, although your knight has been hanging for 7 moves now
800-999: Pre-Intermediate, you are developing higher level chess skills, such as knowledge of danger levels. However, you still blunder far too often, and have no idea how to play positional chess
1000-1199: Intermediate, you are now 4 digits and can punish your opponent's blunders. You no longer hang pieces (as often), but 2-4 move combination blunders infest your position
1200-1399: Strong Intermediate, you now have the ability to play a solid game and can teach your middle school or elementary school chess club. You can play basic strategy very well, but advanced strategies still prove difficult
1400-1599: Semi-Advanced, you have learned your opening well and are beginning to understand positional chess. A very solid rating, an absolute god to <1200s
1600-1799: Advanced, you can now play positional chess well and hardly blunder (or at least you like to think that). You can start playing in actual tournaments
1800-1999: Very Advanced, you can play a solid game against lower titled players, but you just got triangulated to death in King-pawn endgame
2000-2199: Expert, you are now a chess expert and have taken down a fair number of titled players. You won your cash tournaments and SUCCESSFULLY beat the Martin bot (humor)
2200-2399: Master, you beat a GM once and can completely annihilate 1800s while blindfolded. "Blunder" is not part of your vocabulary
2400-2599: Elite Master, you are titled and make serious chess money, you have become so powerful that 2200s can't even comprehend your level of play.
2600+: Why on Earth are you reading this post instead of playing against Ding Liren in the next exclusive tournament for SGMs
