Your average 13 year old would be around 1000 el0, I’d say. Maybe 1200-1500

Around 1000, maybe 1200-1500? So in other words "I have no idea"?

These numbers are ridiculous guesses for an average. For every 1500 rated kid there are a thousand others who barely know how the pieces move.

It depends on the player's knowledge of the game and how much experience they have.

For players 7-10 who haven't played before on average would approximately have a rating of 200 - 500

Experienced 7-10 players would approximately have a rating of 500 - 1300

For players who 10-14 who are new to chess would be approximately rated around 500 - 1200
Experienced 10-14 players would approximately have a rating of 1200 - 2000

Hey, i never said I would be accurate. It’s just a random guess based on the people I met. If you have any problems with that, look for the statistics yourself

you could be any age and have any elo, so unless your an unborn fetus or don't have basic puzzle solving skills you'll be able to play chess. the extent of which you play on depends on your drive and motivation, not age. age can play a factor though, especially in the newer generations with their shorter attention spans.

chess is a game of wits. you can have wits from the age you're 5+. the only reason most people under a certain age seem worse is due to the fact that they don't dedicate themselves to the game like people who want to improve do. if any kid decided they wanted to play chess professionally, they could do so, they just need grit, effort, and determination. of course not everyone can play chess: people ~5 with no self awareness or people that have complications that disallow them from learning or putting their education to use (e.g older folks with things like dementia)
