That is obviously not true.

Anyway, you should look up what checkmate is and what stalemate is. Those are absolutely essential, can't really play chess without knowing.

I’m curious if FIDE or USCF has a rating floor of 100

For Fide, the floor is 1000. That's the bare minimum you need to have to show up beside your name

The 100 rating floor was implemented relatively recently. Some old accounts are below this.

I remember I saw someone on chesskid with 82 daily. What's the floor there?

I do know, I mean't as in I don't know how to play endgame well, so most of my matches end in stalemate or repetition. Thanks for the reply though.

When I started playing chess, I fell to 100 ELO from the original 400 that I started with (different account). I was using quicker time controls like blitz, though. Now, I play rapid and am much better after 2 years of playing.

100 rating is as low as ches elo goes, it is not a spectacle there are a lo of 100s

Its weird why you cant go below 100, I constantly lose even at 100, people play really well there. Everyone knows what they are doing and often win in 4 turns
