When are "good" At Chess
Sort:
When you are better than the guy across the board, you are good. When you are not, you aren't.
Well, we all start off with 1200 points, so when you get to say 1500, you are out of beginner and into intermediate range, when you get to say 1800, you move on to High Player range, once you hit 2100, you are now in the different master ranges. Now everyone will have a different opinion than mine. Hope this helps.
thanks Knightspawn5 and everyone else
[COMMENT DELETED]
100 points higher than whatever your current rating is.
hmm...
the average is 1800?

where did you get that info? 1800 is average for online? really?
that doesn't really make sense since an 1800 rated player is around the 90 percentile on the site.

It is very subjective. Depends on how much of a perfectionist the person is... 
^ e.g. I have an online rating of 1961 and rank in the 95% percentile, yet I believe I suck at chess.

yeah i'm 1750-1800 and i feel like i suck. so maybe no one is good at chess.
Good would be 1500-1700
Beginner
<1000
Intermediate
1000-1399
Advanced
1400-1999
Master
2000+
Some may disagree with this
A quite well recognised table- but speaking as an intermediate I know I am far from being " Good "... still rather bad in fact mainly through repeating silly mistakes and missing obvious pins etc."Good" is somewhat further in the table.

I like the end "some may disagree with this". (-:
I say you're good when you can go to the local [casual] place to play and school everybody there. For me, it's a nearby coffee shop. (They make EXCELLENT coffee, but the chess players there aren't particularly good).

This is the classification table for elo:
2000–2199: Expert 1800–1999: Class A 1600–1799: Class B 1400–1599: Class C 1200–1399: Class D 1000–1199: Class E 800-999: Class F 600-799: Class G 400-599: Class H 200-399: Class I 100-200: Class JRatings on here are inflated. Especially correspondence ratings. I've seen folk here that state that they have 1200-1300 USCF and have played consistently at 1700 on this site.
Personally, I'd say anyone playing at class 'c' would be a good player and imagine that their rating here would be between 1900-2000 on correspondence.
None of this is hard facts, just lose thoughts. Makes sense to me though :)
