when i created my account i clicked on new for my rating (i technically wasn't new but i was having fair games so it was right thing to click on) and after 4 months and 8 days on this site my rating has increased by 611 (800 + 611 = 1411) a significant amount of you would've had a lot of expertise before you created your accounts but if you can remember how long it took for you to get to where you are it would be great.

is 611 increase in elo rating in 4 months fast or is it average or even slow?

About 3-4 years of serious chess for where I am right now, and 2-3 years to get my current (old)  official rating, if you add up the time periods where I've trained seriously. However, I've known the rules since I was a little kid, about 8 years ago.

611 is very slow for 4 months of serious chess, but I'm assuming you haven't done serious chess training. You probably just play for fun / are only looking to improve casually.

no i've increased by 611 the rating on chess.com starts you off at 800 then after 4 months i'm at 1411. sorry for the misunderstanding i'll edit my first comment thing.

Depends in your level and commitment, it took me almost a year to get from 800 to 1200 in my rapid, and about that same time to get to 1300 in daily (well I used to be 1300 I had to resign a bunch because of school). I don't play as much as I want to because of limited club assess and no time outside of college, but if your seriously studying and can get a good teacher you could easily rise 20 or so a week at our level of play, 1500-1800 is definitely possible if you try hard
