Of course, the ChessMaster rating is not an official rating like those given by FIDE or national federations.

To the original poster: Did you do that ratings exam in the Chessmaster intermediate tutorial....and is this how you got that rating? I don't tihnk its very accurate. I did the same thing and got a rating around 1900 I think....which is ridiculous....WAY off. I'm not even close to being a 1900 player, and find it hard to beat most of the personalities on chessmaster at the 1300 level.

I entered with 1300 and started playing against players aroud that rating.Then I played always against players close to my rating and after 20 games and some losses I got my rating.It took me 17 wins and 3 losses.
