1200 is average rating and sets experts so they only have to work up and amatures to a bit of extra rating chance. (2400/2=1200, do the math!)

How many day's is a few minutes?
work?

I played over 300 rated games (Deep Fritz 13, Intel i5-3570) and my rating increased to 1850
my aim: 1900 and "Club Champion" title 
not bad for an amator player, isn't it?
playing rating games is best method to become stronger chess player, imo
above my last game, white has move and black resigned
why exactly? 
have fun!
1. Bxf6 Bxf6 2. Nh5 if gxh5 3. Qh6 if Bg7 4. Qxh7+
Hey tygar (sounds like tiger to me). Black looses a piece right? Black has to play 1...h6 2Bxf6 Bxf6 3d5!
simply set up this position and try to win game against computer (black) playing with full strenth
and do not use chess program for position analysis of course
solution is not easy, it's hard in fact, it takes many moves to convert positional advantage into decisive material advantage

Hello World!
do you know about the credibility of rating system in this site? I mean for example when you play with a player rated 2000, is it equal to real players that attend at tournoments? or chess.com rating is lower(or higher) than standard and professional rating?
Chess.com ratings do not directly translate to FIDE ratings or any other kind of tournament rating. From experience, I find that ratings on chess sites are inflated.
what about other software's ratings? I mean for example chessmaster? are their ratings standard? or above or below the standard rating?
