This might seem like a stupid question, but what rating do you start at in turn-based standart chess?

And why is it called turn-based and live? The live part is turn-based and the turn-based is still done live? All very strange.. :D

They should rename it to correspondence and action. Correspondence makes most sense, action is just more powerfull.

I had similar thoughts about the naming and descriptions of the types of chess here.

I believe the rating starts at 1200.
