how good is 2200 elo chess player

I think 2200 is not bad at all

oh okay get it i guess

2200 is top 10,000. Very good but also a long way from making a living from playing Chess.

Which time control are you going by? Rapid?

Because as of writing I am 2403 in blitz, and I just squeaked by top 10,000.

Rapid is very confusing it's the area where a bunch of cheaters end up being plus the pool is smaller you could probably get anywhere from 1900 ish in tb strength to around Im level in rapid

Really good

I have a friend whos 2200 and he's like really really good at chess.
Correction several

2200 is stronger than most amateurs.

But it's weaker than most professionals.

So it exists in a middle-ground of sorts - that division between hobby players and serious competitors.
