 Nope, you're B player strength at 1600 (just barely).  Get to 2200 and you're a master.

@tipish, titles are based on USCF/FIDE or other official ratings, not online ratings.

No. It confuses terminology. Several of the checkmates are not checkmate. There are only four exercises per pattern. There is no checkmate pattern in Murray’s list that is missing from “A Checklist of Checkmates”.
