Their rating should be 2050 USCF.

There’s no "should" when it comes to rating at 10-11 years old—everyone improves at their own pace! That said, here’s a rough guide:
Beginners (Just learning) → <800
Casual players (Plays sometimes) → 800-1000
Club level (Knows openings, tactics) → 1000-1400
Competitive juniors (Plays in tournaments) → 1400-1800+
If your standard rating is 1400 but blitz is 1000, it just means your slower, deeper thinking is stronger than your quick decisions. That’s totally normal! If you want to improve in blitz, work on tactics, time management, and pattern recognition.
