Thx

The default rating is 800
No it’s 1200 I’m 1394
Well at least it was 1200 nearly 3 years ago
You both are right. It depends on the level you choose for yourself.

also think that aduld newbie chess learning is quite different than for kids.
Most of my beginner games are decided by blunders, moves and threats I am blind at that moment.
I think there is a thing to remember: we play globally on chess servers, so there is no chance to advance to the top as it would be may be possible in your local chess (or say tennis) club.

it was 400 when I started a few days ago. I think that's much more realistic than the 1500 you default at Lichess e.g.
Lichee has a deafult rating of 1500?
yes, but you are marked with a question mark at your rating when there are only a couple of games finished.
I think the rating is also a bit higher there, at least from my point of view. 1200 lichess feels like 1000 chess.com

One of my students increased to 1000 from 150 within 4 weeks, that was impressive.
Was it? That depends on how many games he had played before. If you start with the rating 800 and lose like 5 or 6 games, your rating will go down to 150. And with enough practice, your student should have easily gotten better and raised back up.
What I mean is when you start out, chess.com is trying to find your actual rating as it makes you earn many points or lose many points in the first few games. While that is neat of your student to gain all those points, if what I said was true, then in 4 weeks I would expect that of the student.
Finally, if I am wrong, you are completely right. If the student had played 30+ games and had a rating of 150 and then improved to 1000, I do believe and call that very impressive.
I'm still here with very low ratings... I made it close to 1200 in daily, but I caused timeout on many games. I feel it is unfair to lose points that way since I didn't lose. I mean, it should count as a loss, but yeah... I just couldn't finish them...
As for live chess, motivation is tough to achieve and I feel I'm never going to reach 1000.
While you high rated people may be flexing on this achievement, I congratulate this person for reaching 1000 as it is a goal for me at the moment.
