Wow long topic very much post!
Chess rating system


My rating started out as 1000 not 1200. Is this supposed to be like this?
Depends how you gave your chess skill level during registration.
From what I know,
New -----> 800
Beginner -----> 1000
Intermediate -----> 1200
Expert -----> 1800

There is one more level for sure, may be two.
400 is the lowest.

That may be, but at least this thread provides some useful information for people who aren't familiar with how ratings work.
That's a lot more than what most threads accomplish.
I started this thread and I hereby am ending its misery. They shoot horses, don't they? Thanks for the few good thoughts.

when Someone achives the IGM title is it possible to lose it or its life time title ?
It's a lifetime title.
