when are you good at Chess ?

2300+ 

Good at chess can be seen in a lot of different ways.  At about 1200 you can beat almost everyone you know.  At about 2700 is when you are "good" compared with the competitive chess players of the world.

I’ll be happy when I have a rating high enough to be able to actually challenge anybody else on this site. I’ve not won a game yet. 😖

Then you don't know me lmaooo

What’s interesting is “good” is a subjective and relative term.

But, when would you say one is “good enough” to teach chess? 1800-2000?

I see lots of beginner advice threads created by people who themselves are 600-1000 rated and whilst they are well meaning, the advice is often incomplete and misleading.

I’d probably say around 1800+ is when someone becomes competent enough to grasp enough about the game to start coaching or teaching beginners (ie. sub 1200s), but is that relative too? I’m a 1650 player and whilst I feel competent enough to give tips and advice to a sub 1200, I wouldn’t necessarily go about publishing material on the forum which many people seem to do.

I think this is another interesting line of discussion!

Completely agree with @kraig

I don’t eat fettuccine there I eat spaghetti and meatballs

What type of meatballs?

Italian

yum

Aussie meatballs are tasty too

Depends on what part of the Kangaroo you eat,  but to be honest i have only had it once.

Haha, us Aussies love our wild animals

When we get to 1600 I think we must be getting good by then.?

When you can beat GMs in  slow games. 

Says the 1300

am not gonna bother to remember tens and ones digits.

What I was saying is, 

you said "I don't like to beat people"

but as a 1300+ player you'd need to beat quite a bit of people, especially those 3-digit ones.

huh?

I dont like Kangaroo meat, smell and taste are similar to  " beef soaked in too much iron minerals".
