Hi

 

I have been playing chess for about two years. Started as an entertainment and fast became a great hobby.

 

I'm 29 years old.

 

Almost 100% of my games were played at Chess.com. I play only 30/0 and 15/10 type games.

 

All i know i learnt from internet.

 

My current rank at Chess.com is 1500.

 

I would like to know how reliable is this rank?

 

What should be expectable from me on small OTB tournaments?

 

 

Thank you.

You have played quite a few games here in standard time controls, so I would say your rating here is pretty accurate.

As to OTB? It's hard to say as tourneys are quite a bit different than online. However, if you get used to playing in that format, then you might see similar ratings there, just depends on time controls; +/- 200 points. But that is just a guess.

Thank you for your reply.

 

I wonder if there are some place where one can make a kind of chess rank test?

 

Appreciated.

I think you are ready to the next stage, wich should be joining a club and trying to play OTB in various time formats. Your skills and knowledge will get greatly boosted and besides is much more interesting.
