Having played chess for a combined period of a year (several decades ago) and having joined a couple chess.com a couple of weeks ago my rating is now around 630-650. If the standard ELO rating for beginners is about 800 this means that I am playing to a standard worse than an absolute beginner! The weird thing is I have played a few good games with people around the 600-700 range and each of us seem to have a grasp of the basics of the game and tactics - eg planning ahead with defence and attack and implementing forks, pins etc and knowing how to finish. Is the rating on chess.com different or are all if us at my level simply catastrophically awful?
This rating is close to the global average rating of about 660. This is an average rating in the context of about half of all players are lower rated and about half of all players are higher rated.
The reason you hear many consider this "beginner" range is because most chess players are "beginners" by the definition with ability and overall understanding in mind.
I guess you can win every one in your Family at chess, Just check the Global ranking, and you will get the answer, the great thing is that we can all improve.

Unless you've only just started, pretty useless.

Too bad that he stopped playing.

there are many youtubers you can learn chess. I agree with @bdub76. Watching Gotham Chess does help a lot with openings and endgames.

I think a 640 is a great rating to start with. As a 2000, I started at about 650
more than the fork on the rook it allows Be6, Qd7, CM
