Rating in relation to ELO
Sort:
I'm fairly new to the world of chess. But I carried me through some personal challenges and I got hooked.
My question is, how does the rating here reflect any real ELO scoring. I know I'm still at beginners level, so below 1000, no question.
I'd just love to estimate, if I'm improving and any good in my profess, I've I'm a total fail or maybe much better than the system reflects.
Can someone give me a sketchout of that. Is there a way du get an ELO rating when it's below 1000?
Thanks

The ratings here are real Elo ratings. They incorporate some refinements from the original system developed by Arpad Elo but at their heart, the systems are similar and serve the same purpose- helping you find good matches.
Ratings for over the board play use similar formulae.
Your 279 rapid rating is after 270 games. You have a long way to go. Keep trying to improve!

I can relate with you on how chess got me thru a chapter of my life.
Great for you on getting the gold membership. I highly urge you to do the allowable 25 rated puzzles per day; it will help you improve in areas of tactics and pattern recognition much quicker.
Take advantage of the unlimited game analysis so run the report after each game; valuable learning.
You’re sticking to rapid games which is smart; something that I didn’t do starting off.
And keep playing which you are doing; you’ll continue to improve.
