740 is a beginner, but it shows the fact you played hundreds of chess games to get it. Chess.com levels:
New to chess: 400
Beginner: 800
Intermediate: 1200
Advanced: 1600
Expert: 2000
(These are actually the previous years levels but it is changed last year. )
Nah, I'd say more like...
- Just learned the moves 1 hour ago: Below zero
- Played 100 games and has only known the game 1 month: Below 500
- Learned a few tips from videos or reading and played a few 100 more games, has only known the game a few months: below 1000
so i just wanted to know is my rating good or not and what level am i supposed to be in (beginner/intermediet/etc)
If there are only 3 categories (beginner, intermediate, advanced) then the rating ranges will have to be very wide.
If chess progression is simply a log base 2 progression (each category has half the rating range of the previous one) then...
