Says a 2400. That Wikipedia thing was published last year. and barely any under 16 year old make a master title, only about 1% of chess players under 16 years old make a master title.
Good chess rating for a 12 year old on chess.com

Why is everyone depressed about their ratings, huh?
EVERYONE, ALMOST EVERY FORUM RELATED TO THIS.
I mean, in ChessMood and ChessKid, both guys Avetik and FunMasterMike say that "If you lose 10 rating, don't cry. If you win 10 rating, don't get too happy. If you lose 100 rating, then you can cry and if you gain 100 rating, trust me. You have to had be happy."

I am 11 and 2100, but don’t let this discourage you. Playing chess alone is hard, and at the age of 12, that is amazing. Keep going.

I was wondering, what do y’all think is a good rating for a 12 year old on chess.com?
I would say 1400 or above.
2600 probably

I'm 11 and at a 1050 rating level 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. Why? WHYYYYYY??? WHYYYYYYYYYY?????????????? That is so bad rating I will die right now. I never felt that bad.
All these ratings are good but not exceptional.
Wikipedia says 600-1200 is among the best 12 year old players
Kids be getting IM by 10 now, thats def outdated. A good rating should probably be 2200 online (1800 OTB)
