What should a 10-11 year old's rating be?
Sort:
Very (VERY)true. My dad taught me when I was about 7, and I have been playing since! I’m currently teaching my grandmother, and TRYING to teach my brother. Personally, I can’t find the time in the day to sit down and play chess each day, so my rating is really low. Honestly, I sometimes prefer to use an actual chess set. Idk why ppl never play chess anymore though.

I would say all of you are doing great, I teach 10 year olds (school teacher) and very few know how to play chess. Very good at fortnite though.
About a year ago I was a pretty hardcore gamer, having quit chess from lack of motivation after lockdowns. I am over 1800 USCF, and I probably don't see myself coming back to rated tournaments. (I'm 15 btw)
I am 11 year old and my rating is 1240
Im 11 and my rating 1432
I hate rapid
I can put it up though but it sucks

A person's age does not dicate the skills in chess. I personally know 10-11 year olds with 1800+ ratings in the USCF and Magnus Carlsen received his title very young.
Since you are 1400ish on chess.com, I would say your USCF rating would be around 1100-1350
The only disadvantage a younger player has is experience , Most of the time , but it doesnt make your telent limited
im 13 but im like a 470 im new to chess i only started playing a month ago

Age is irrelevant to chess abilities. Some people just understand chess intuitively. Morphy was the best chess player in New Orleans when he was your age. Capablanca and Reshevsky were on tour giving demos and simuls (beating groups of experienced adults) when they were younger than you. Spassky was 10 when he beat Botvinnik in a simul (1947, when Botvinnik was by far the world's strongest player). Every few years someone sets a new record for youngest GM ever.
Others develop more slowly. Steinitz was a run-of-the-mill master as a young man and slowly evolved into the world champion. Lasker didn't become a strong player until he was an adult, and continued to have good results into old age. Korchnoi learned from his father but didn't start playing at chess clubs and taking lessons until he was 12 but was a top player past age 70.
So don't worry if you are not as strong a player as others your age and don't get too excited if you are better than most kids your age. Just play as much as you enjoy doing, and if you have exceptional talent it will show through sooner or later. And if you are not an GM caliber talent, just play for the challenge and enjoyment like the rest of us do.
Oof
I turned 10 in May and I have a puzzle rating of 2457. But I'm 1257 Rapid, 1077 Blitz, Bullet 1369, Daily 1227. Also I'm one year old in chess.
If ur eleven like me challenge me bullet
My bullet was 1500 it fell a lot
I'm a 10 year old and my rating is 800. Personally, I think that 10 year olds should have already learned to calculate in chess but still sometimes make some blunders. The average rating for a 10 year old should probably be like 800-1000.
as an 11 year old, I have a higher than average rating, but from the tournaments in Canada, 16-1800 seems like the average rating for people my age.
Everyone is talking 1000+ and I am just 400.
