Folks, I just broke 1300 playing chess.com puzzles and I have little idea what this means. A guess would be something like an entry-level club player, but maybe not. Anyone want to enlighten me? Do these puzzle rating map to ELO ratings? Thanks.

Puzzle ratings don't map to regular Elo ratings very well.

Puzzle rating only measures one part of a chess game, and is not a direct correlation to your actual strength as a player. Your rapid rating on this site would be the most reflective of what your actual strength level of OTB play.
