At what point should someone quit chess?

So as the title asks, at what point should someone quit chess because they're no good at it? When they're winning something like 30%-40% of the time? When they go down to something like 800 elo, or struggle to get that high in the first place?

I don't want answers that are just "when you don't enjoy", that's not the question I'm asking. I only want answers that to do with a lack of skill.

Best answer (judged by me) will be gifted a gold membership.

Quitting for lack of skill alone is never enough reason to stop in my opinion. Most players aren't born with natural talent and a knack for understanding the ins and outs of the game; it comes with experience. Losing tends to hurt a bit, but it all depends on someone's mindset when it happens. If I'm matched with someone much higher, I may know I don't have a chance, but I can look at other ways to challenge myself such as stay out of CM for at least X moves, try to draw, or try to throw them off. So to answer your question, in my opinion, someone should quit when they are no longer are taking away something meaningful from the game. It is a game after all. :)

Ok, no gold membership for you, sorry.

Let's use Einstein's famous quote - it's all relative.

As long as you're not the world's worst player, or best player, there are Always player beneath your level, and above your level. If your rating is, say, 1500, and you always play 1800s - you feel like you're not talented. if your rating is 1500 and you play 1200s - you feel like a genius!

So... how about playing lower-rated players and feel good?

It's okay, you can just give me the gold membership, humbleness is for losers. give give. I won't stop you.

Just for good measure - I'm rated 1700+ here, rapid (barely...) and I have ideas in chess. (the thread "my ideas" in the Openings section in chess.com forums)

This guy on Youtube - "Chess Boot Camp" - his rating here is 1500... and he teaches chess.

non of us in titled. some would say "we're not worthy" blah blah blah. do we care?

You should only quit when you are the best chess player

Good advice.

You should definitely quit chess if you consider it to be less fun than Rick and Morty hentai

When it is no longer interesting. 

Exactly, so it stands to reason Iwould get a sensible, on-topic answer.

You've gotten plenty of reasonable answers. 

You've gotten plenty of reasonable answers. 

They haven't actually answered the question or been on topic, so can they really be called reasonable?

I'd say people should quit when they no longer enjoy chess.

Another reason to quit would be to not consider that an acceptable answer and demanding a different answer.

Or maybe the best reason to quit is thinking, after being a member for 5 days, after having only played 1 game, thinking that starting this post is a valuable contribution to the chess community

Edit: Seriously, there is no point where you should quit due to lack of skill. Not for chess, not for any sport. Unless you endanger yourself and other. I can imagine some people should quit formula 1, archery or skiing due to lack of skill. Besides that, it's anyone's personal choice how they spend or waste their time.

No need for membership here, I just wish to answer this question.

This is a subjective topic, everyone can look at it from their own perspective.

First of all, percentage of wins is not really relevant in my opinion. Why? Well, for instance a solid 1 600-1 700 rated club player might play against 2 000+ rated player every time, lose 80-90% of their games and still be considered a solid player. So you can't say that he/she is terrible at chess.

Second, which rating is so low for a person to decide to call it quits? This is up to you. Apart from that, one could be a beginner today but a decent player after a year or so. If losing brings you pain and suffering, you shouldn't play. Someone rated 2 000 could be so affected by a loss
that they shouldn't play chess at all. On the other hand, someone rated 200 might enjoy every moment playing chess (of course nobody likes to lose, but this person might still get a lot more positives than the negatives, so why should they quit?).

As for you, well, the fact that you are asking this question might (or might not) mean that you are not enjoying playing chess at the moment. If that is the case, then you might want to quit. If not, why would you listen to some high rated player who says for instance: "If you are not 2 000 rated, chess is not for you, just quit." It is up to you to decide what do you wish to gain from chess and the criteria for playing/quitting.
