Determine Your ELO - What's Your Skill Level? [This is a forum from one of my own groups...]

Hello, there! Thank you for reading this forum! Are you ready to determine your ELO rating?

I assume you're here because you saw the word "ELO"? Well, as many of you already know, the ELO rating system is a method for calculating the relative skill levels of chess players. If you currently are unaware of your ELO rating, then look no further! This forum, and website, will be able to help you!

http://www.chessmaniac.com/ELORating/ELO_Chess_Rating.shtml

This website has come to be known as the "Automated Chess Rating Utility". Before you use it, however, please know that the ELO rating you are provided with is an estimation! 

Your "skill level" will be determined based on ten puzzles that you provide your own answer with. Please do share the results you receive once you complete the exam! 

Thank you, sirs and madams! Good luck!

Yours Truly,

I really dont think you can accurately perdit a rating based on a few puzzles. Just dosent seem like a good method.

I agree. As I said above, it's only an estimation.

1510, guess I was thinking in combinations though, can't help it, it's how the game is played for me.

that is good but, why do we have to play a move for black when black is on top? usually to have a fair old study of the board we tend to favour looking at the position where our army is at the bottom of the board and facing up and i noticed no (flip board) option

1610!

Those puzzles are really really boring, no queen sac, no beautiful puzzle etc. and sometimes the is no combination? W.T.F
