Good Chess.com rating
Sort:
I am a twelve year old boy playing chess @ chess.com. At the moment, my ratings are oscillating around 1000 and 1100 for Blitz and Rapid, and 1200-1300 for Bullet (I think). Is this considered good? What does this tell me as a Chess player? To my understanding, I'd be rated as around 700-1000 in FIDE, am I correct?

They haven't posted any stats like that. The ratings are probably better than average for your age and may qualify as "good" but you should stay humble since there are 12 year old Grandmasters these days.
More importantly, you have played 1700 games of bullet. Less than 200 of blitz. About 200 rapid. 100 Daily. That breakdown is probably typical for your age. It's fun. If you want to get better, you need to spend more time studying and thinking.
There were several articles a couple of years ago comparing chess.com ratings to USCF and FIDE ratings. If you search, I am sure you will find them.

I do try to play as much as possible, but I usually play Bullet because I have five minutes to spare.
I am a twelve year old boy and have only just started playing chess about two months ago I’m rated about 1200 but I think I am rated a bit higher I mostly play bots and beat the 2200 Noam bot regularly also I’m about as good as Magnus Carlson age 10. If you want to study and get better you can watch chess lessons but not do the challenges and then you get infinite for free

I'm 38 and my grey matter is rapidly turning to blubber. I struggle to stay above 1000 😬 i'll be happy to make 1500 before I croak it.
