Are you good for your age?

Who resurrected this thread. 

You.

A little more than 1100 to be 13 years and less than one month yea i think im good for my age.

Well personally I believe that, for my age (18), just knowing the basics of chess makes me good for my age, now if I were, say, 24, then it would be a big fat no.

 Maybe your coach is not expert rated?

not everyone's USCF, I guess im good if you put it that way. Yet, I have loads to improve, for sure.

im 20th something best in my country. canada, for my age group, pretty good :)

don't forget to have fun ;)

I know a kid who passed 2000 around his 8th birthday and is currently a 2156-rated 9-year-old.

And another kid from about the same area who's a bit younger at 2087 (still 9)

Top u8 US players currently are in the 1700s - current generation is weaker than a couple of years ago.

One kid to watch out for is Aydin Turgut. One scary 8-year-old with quite a strong dad. (2618 CCGM and FM)

lol, piphilologist is 14? Somehow I imagined him as well into his twenties.

i'll play you grand pa!

I'm good for any age, but, you know, only as in "Hey, that guy next door is really good at chess", not as in actually ever winning anything that counts. 

Am not bad for my age but have no one else my age to play against

Well, you are 109. 

Sorry but the question has no relevance. Age has nothing to do with skill ability or desire.

In other worlds you've never won (or competed in?) a world youth U12, U16, U18 etc event 

Am I good for my age? Probably not.

But my age is good for me!
