To me being ok at something is relative, it can change depending on the subject

Well thats part of hetting better at chess, blundering and learning from that

Yeah, but can't argue that under 1000 elo you realy don't know what you're doing in chess. I make these blunders, missed tactics that were very easy in hindsight. I don't really know what i'm doing in chess anyway

But where did the fact that at 1500 your ok and not good until 2000, like the words

By 2000, so many games, we see players that actually know what they're doing and they're actually quite decent.

Above that goes from quite decent to excellent... and then even "out of this world"

1500, there are still some key mistakes that are made. Just look at Nelson Lopez's series. Even at 1500 there are still significant mistakes you're making.

It's 2000+ rating when the significant mistakes start going away, and then it's a small mistake that could decide winning or losing

Yeah, but considering how <1000 elo blunder so much and miss many easy tactics (including myself) we really are crap at chess at that level

When you sign to chess.com it has new to chess, beginner, intermediate and advanced. When I clicked advanced I started out as 1500

I've played games against 700 that know what they are doing, and having few blunders

At 600 you develop planning

Me? I'm crap at it?

Nah... I trust the opinions of the much stronger rated players playing against people like us. They can see so many easy blunders and tactics. That just shows how bad we are at chess, unless we actually practice

What was that NM yaking source from, like if he takes source from bullet, your far more likely to blunder then in a 30 minute game

Think of a chess game as a slice of pizza. Eating the crust of the pizza is the same as playing on, while throwing away the crust is the same as resigning early.

You would still have planning. Like moving a knight to try make a fork and hope the other player wouldn’t notice. That would be 600 rated gameplay

Avatar of timben

But you eat the crust last

To some extent, although at 1000 elo, and to lesser extent 1500 elo these plans simply aren't very good.

People like Hikaru, GothamChess have played against these players. We can clearly see their hugely flawed planning, using their explanations

Avatar of timben

Maybe he just wanted to drop elo cause it was too hard
