Chess rating system

 The average daily rating is 1230 on this site. 

My rating started out as 1000 not 1200. Is this supposed to be like this?

if you say you are low experience, yes, i dont know the format real good but it's about that.

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.

We will all die of old age before this thread ends. It is eternal!

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.

The undying thread

better than me

I started this thread and I hereby am ending its misery.  They shoot horses,  don't they?  Thanks for the few good thoughts.

What's that?

Congratulations for starting the thread. Thanks for telling us. Otherwise we would never have known where the OP got to.

I realize that this isn't the correct place to post this question, but I'm a newcomer to the site and I can't seem to figure out how to start a new topic - I've looked all over and I can't find any guidance. Could someone please direct me to instructions for starting a new topic on the forums? Thanks!

On this page, to the right, look for the orange button, "new topic"

Thanks! It seems painfully obvious now that you point it out. Every forum seems to have a slightly different system...
