Hi, 

Who tried elometer.net rating test?

This is the result I got. Who can say me how legit this test is? 

Post your results if you passed the test

That is very long test. I think it would be accepted with a deviation of -250 points

I started solving this after I saw your post. I had tried this before too but didn't finish all the 76 puzzles. This time I hurried through them somehow. Also there were various questions like how many puzzles did you knew before hand and regarding various hours you put into chess problems/coaching and they did consider online ratings. So as long as those guesses are accurate to a point, I guess these ratings are too!

I got 1600 a while back. Seems a bit inaccurate.

I just tried this and it's awful. 76 chess positions is way too much to do in one session, so I took a break after a few problems. When I came back, I saw it skipped the last problem I was on. So then I left, and immediately refreshed. It did it again.

I didn't answer any further chess problems, I simply refreshed over and over and it skipped all of them. At the end it said I had a very poor elo (probably because I didn't answer most of them) and now I can't do it again. That is poor site management.

Wouldn't recommend. Better option is to try the one from chessmaniac which only has 10 and can be done more than once.

Probably not very accurate at all. (Like any single-point-in-time exam).
Ratings are a measure of how you compare to other players over time, so any test like this would have to be an approximation at best. And even if the test had some advanced, dynamic selection of puzzles during the test, people have good and bad days, meaning you could score widely different on the same test on two different days.

Attempt in 3 years ago.

OP, you are now 1400+. +100 elo increase from last year. ( Btw, 3 games against you were my current last games here)

drmrboss

Too far overrated. +200 to +300 elo around my rating.

It is not timed.

You get better rating if you spend more time.

drmrboss

Do you mean more accurate to OTB?

I dont think so.

If you care OTB rating, play OTB.

Mine says 1490 which is probably fairly accurate.

Mine said 1900, its so overrated

I think its ur tactic rating, not ur elo

I agree that is not a reliable test for current ELO. Maybe it’s aspirational.

Also, maybe obsessing to much about ELO can inhibit chess progress. We learn from trying new concepts in matches...  I don’t know how to evolve without being willing to lose more often for a time and learn from those losses. This will result in a drop in ratings but long-term perhaps growing as a chess player.

many varibles are to acount for your current rating but, i think what this survey is analyzing is your ultimate classical/puzzle strength

Mine said 1762, which is 1000+ points higher than my actual rating.  There is no accuracy to this thing at all.
