Indeed. Anyone below 2000 doesn’t know how to play chess. Properly, at least.

Uhhh no that's completely wrong there are 1800s online who are masters but ok

Those masters either don’t try or got an exception title. 

It's not smart to expect people to take online chess seriously

It's worth nothing in general

Also I know a lot of good players who earn prizes with chess who have a rating below 2000, and that statement that people below that specific level all don't know how to play proper chess is honestly just completely based on your own personal opinion

Which is not enough to say that so many people out there just don't know how to play proper chess and sincerely it doesn't seem to have any basement

And with "trying" I mean they wouldn't actually lose their time going for certain rating ranges in chess.com (which basically has not much to do with real life chess) when they are already good

Ratings are a measure of skill. 

FIDE ratings are precise which makes a random online chess site's measure of your casual speed chess skill completely innacurate and useless

No, a chess site has its own ratings. You can still measure the skill level of a particular player no matter the type of rating system.

Yeah you can measure it wrong tho

FIDE and National ratings though are the only true precisely accurate rating, unless you haven't played enough games OTB.

That’s not how accuracy works. Sure, they’re the “official” ratings, but you can’t compare rating accuracies from different pools. If everyone’s rating on a chess site is inflated by 200 points, then their rating will be accurate on the chess site.

You are basically saying all rating pools measure the skill of the players correctly

Yeah, that’s the point of ratings. 

 

Remember, ratings are relative, not absolute.

Just because that's their point doesn't mean they succeed in it

But I alr this discussion isn't even worth it since FIDE rating is what actually matters

On lichess, it is anyone over 2200 at the very least.

 

Thanks man. Way to crush my ego. cry.png

TheSwissPhoenix

chess.com ratings are more inflated than lichess can't even break 2000 after like 500 blitz games on lichess.
