I honestly dont understand why 15/5 is not considered reg rating
What would be a good rating for a Player who has been playing for one year

Peshala, given how many kids too often play 30+whatever, or 25+5, Reg Rated,
VERY FAST, without using their time, you do have a point. However, those wishing to
GROW in chess CHOSE to do so by using the time allowed to actually review prospective
moves looking for a better one before playing. Chess.com apparently does not quite
understand what quality chess is either, as is indicated by their mixing quick G/10,
and G/25+ events into a ??? called rapid. Point is, Peshala, for quality improvement,
playing longer events is simply a necessity. Vital even.

Back in the Jurassic period of my youth, Scholastic chess, and for that matter, game 30 did not
exist. Tournaments were VERY long time controls, catered to mostly adults,. lasting several days.
So my chances to play as a kid, were truly quite limited, and every tournament at least a short
drive from where I grew up in Fort Worth.
But, within a very short time, I was I think around 1200. A different time. Perhaps it was
in a way, easier to "climb" at that time, because there were no novice, or intermediate
sections. You either learned and adjusted quickly, or you endured. Certainly I have heard
the argument that "easier sections" harm more than help, BUT, I do know this as a coach
and organizer- shorter time controls such as G/30, and lower sections do keep more kids
in chess.

I too we wished i started chess earlier, before I started chess my parents constantly encouraged me to play chess but all i saw just moving pieces then one day i just decided ill try a few online games then day by day i started playing more till I reached this level.

I have coached Four Players who went on to represent the USA in World Youth Competition,
a few national champions, and more than several Texas State Scholastic or Youth Champions. MOST of these players started between ages 4-7. A few of my "young stars"
started lessons at age 3. Very generally speaking, the older a student is, generally the
more resistant they are to change, for the simple reason that regardless of level of success,
some do enjoy a "comfort zone".

Totally and completely irrelevant, Rahul. This is the utterly ridiculous point that USCF
EB continues to make-OTB is superior, and the "enlightened way" to play chess. It simply
is not. Period, end of story. Online USCF rated is simply different in several ways, but
without question, absolutely 100% equal.

Not a problem @bluemoonhaze, everybody goes through slumps. You just have to keep at it and stay dedicated. I've been facing a small period of disinterest in chess recently however the Candidates tournament has reignited my spark for chess. I look forward to returning to the game and advancing my chess skills.
Well, Manav, actually you have the following online ratings on USCF
Regular: 831
Quick: 961
Blitz: 1148
Seems the shorter the time control, the more awesome you are!!
