In playing my first game on Chess.com, I received a rating of 1200, before I played. Why, and how was that arrived at?

 You realize you just called Philidor, Euwe, and Lasker (among others) imbeciles, right?


 He is not an imbecile.  My non-internet father taught me 10 too.  9 is assigned by chess.com. It's all relative.  I've seen a queen look like a mere 1 point.  You have too.

How can you find your Rating Deviation?  I'm guessing that the default rating range that is shown when you start a new game is based on this.  Is it twice your RD (i.e. within the 95% confindence interval)?  Or is it something larger?

It's only available to premium members under the "see full stats" link above the summary statistics on your main page.  Yours is currently 199.

Thanks.  The default rating range for seeks (for me) is +/-300.  Is this standard for everyone?

Maybe you should direct this towards the former management of chesspark.com who decided that they no longer wanted to be, or were capable of being, in a position to support their site and their user base.  The alternative was to simply shutter the site and leave all of the users to find their own alternative but chesspark.com was going either way and that was a decision of their management not this site's.  Your frustration is misdirected.

From what I've seen, every attempt has been made to provide at least some degree of continuity and to provide a free place for you to continue to play chess.  I'd urge you to give this site a chance as it's truly a great place to play and interact with other chess players.

Can we attack Red Hot Pawn next? They had some interesting looking tournament structures.

i think the best way is not to show rating until the end of the game ...so that average player like me  start to play their best everytime . rating makes u underestimate  below average opponent and end up making 60 move when u only need 30 + move to beat him or end up losing  .  once u knew your opponent is 1500 or so .it doesnt matter losing or winning ..suddently ..we play better than we were .making some creative attack and compact defence . so if we dont know what rating is our opponent is .we might play our best all the games .

I think you start at 1200 because at the begining you lose a lot and they don't want you to get too low like 2 or 3 hundred. And you lose a lot of points at the begining to.

Oh yes it does! How well you play includes how well you manage your time. Time is as much part of Chess as it is in other games. In football you could score the greatest goal in history, but if the referee blows time before it goes in it doesn't count. Similarly in Chess if you don't get your moves in within the time, you lose, and correctly so.


 So basically what you're saying is:

 

Football is a game.  Football is timed.

Chess is also a game.  Therefore, chess should also be timed. 

 

You've got me convinced.


What's your solution ? Give infinite time and wait until universe collapses ? :-D

After you play 100 games your rating willnot be that much affected from a single loss.

Yes that is the advantage of ECF ratings as well the more game you play the less you rating will get affected by one loss to a lower graded player????? However, I have become a little grade obsessed now and then but after all it is just a number sometimes ........ sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards .... i know this is a little cliche .... so please ignore if you disagree
