is it normal to have no mistakes in 1300-1400?

Some people arent skilled enough to get to 1200

This is extremely rare. Most people on chess.com are stuck mostly because they do nothing to get better. All they do is play speed chess for fun, making the same blunders every game.

That said, MelvinGarvey is talking a lot of nonsense. A player rated 1300 is very far away from a complete beginner.  They difference is roughly as great as between MarvinGarvey and Magnus Carlsen.

i could beat a beginner blindfolded i believe even with my relatively low rating like a 700 or 800 im talking

I'm not going to engage in the chess gatekeeping, i don't think anyone can benefit from that, hopefully we can all move on.

Going back to my question, i understanding now that accuracy is calculated differently in chess (or at least on this site) and i should expect high values in general, even tho it still feels crazy to me, for instance in the last game i played against a person at the same level (both around 1350) he played every move in 1-2s and finished the game with more than 9 minutes left and 85.5 accuracy, i spent like 7 min had 3 minutes left and around 74 accuracy... Playing so fast with such accuracy for 40 moves sounds insane to me, but i understand what you are all saying and i guess I'm just not gonna look at that anymore, thank you for clearing my mind happy.png

What about the 0-1 inaccuracies and 0 mistakes/blunders? Are those normal as well?

Also since someone was asking, i consider myself a beginner because I'm literally just playing 10 minutes games and just analyzing them after,  never watched a video or read about any openings or anything, i just wanna see at what level i plateau before i need to study at least a few openings, but i  guess playing Go at a more advanced level it helps?

Nope, 

Then you list a lot of anecdotal evidence that people can get to 1300 (and beyond) with a year (or more) of hard work. Unless they can't or won't.

I completely agree with that. However, it all supports what I wrote: "a player rated 1300 is very far away from a complete beginner."

It's quite out of the ordinary for a human player to make no mistakes, a mistake according to the computer analysis that is.

MelvinGarvey I'm going to be that guy and say that no one asked you to go off this tangent, for being a strong player that likes the art of chess so much you seem to lack the basic understanding of keeping the focus on the topic at hand and how to help in a beginner forum where people would love to get answers around what they are asking in order to understand the game better without having the discussion be derailed for pages.

if you could please open your own thread to preach the art of real chess on a real board i would appreciate it, i am sure you'll find like minded people that would love to discuss the topic with you.

I hope I'm not sounding arrogant by saying this because that's not my intention, no one owes anyone any answers, i just hope this is all about the community wanting to help each other and especially beginners in a forum like this

No, it is mostly offtopic ranting. And full of complete nonsense.

You don't like what I posted? Fine, that's your right

Sure I will now stop posting in this thread after that one reply. I said all there was to say about it, and it's the oddest moment to ask me to stop, 7 hours after my last post that brought a clean and final closure to the topic.. But it's not answers you're looking for.

It's not about me liking or not liking what you wrote, it's about being on topic.

And about the 7h difference, we all live in different timezones and i am not 24/7 checking on this.

Thank you for understanding

Here: compare the normal, real chess rating distribution, to the chess.com rating distribution:

FIDE

 

Chess.com

 

It says it all.

This is becuse it's easier to sign up for chess.com once and only play every 3 months or so, whilst with FIDE, you usally need to already be good at chess and send a request in order to estabish a profile.

I think that at 1400 people should make very few mistakes if not zero, but they just sometimes don't play the best move or don't see very deep in the game

Free users like us will see an inflated number because we can only access a lower depth engine. The number is most likely lower for premium users.

This is the game where I offered my opponent a draw after 28 moves because it’s a daily game and would take a few days to finish. I finished a game against a bot instead. It only last 20 minutes more, not a few days. The game ended after the 76th move.

As you can see it said I made one inaccuracy and my opponent 8 with a diamond engine. But when I reanalyzed it again with free engine it said my opponent only made 2 inaccuracies and none for me after 76 moves!!

Here is the game if any premium member wants to analyze it.

Against human where I was too lazy to play

Finished against a bot. It starts on the 29th move.
