Hi, I recently decided to start chess and i only know 1 opening also I dont have a lot of idea about chess rules but I decided to take a elometer test and spent 2 minutes on each question and filled the form correctly and then it showed me 1388 rating with range of [1215-1506]. I already expected it to show inflated result but even if i reduce 400 elo then can I consider myself a 1000 elo player? Will you recommend me reading the book("Logical Chess: Every Move Explained"). Please Reply.

Those elometer scores mean little.

Your rating will come from playing other players, not tests.

Logical Chess Moves by Move is a great classic of chess.
