Lots of times I think “I’m having a nice night, let’s ruin it with some chess”

🤔 based from my experience before, a typical 1600-1690 elo, probably aware of the scholar's mate opening, but some of them are having difficulties in surviving multi-variation of gambit openings, specially when they accepted the gambit-piece. They know basic checkmate patterns, knows how to spot pin attacks, but having difficulties or took a while to spot discovered check attacks, or combination attacks, and they probably understand the algebraic notation. 🤔 They understand or familiar with chessbooks, and they probably owned chessboards at their homes ☺️

For me personally I started 4 years ago at 700, took a 1 year break, came back at 1200, took a 2 month break, go to 1500 and got my acc hacked.
