It's easy to tell if you check the percentile. At this  moment, 1000 points is approximately 80% percentile. That means that 80% of all chess players play worse than you. Of course, that would be including kids and grannies. 20% play better. 

You can also check your ranking. At 1000 points, you're ranked #3.800.000 (3 million eight hundred thousand). Which means 3.799.000 players play better than you.

1000 is a great rating for the average person, and below average for chess players. An 1000 rated player will destroy anyone you meet on the streets who barely knows the rules, but an 1000 in Chess.com is like a 700 rating USCF.

I haven't felt pressure like this around 1200 a year ago.

Why did you give up your knight for a pawn for no reason? You were completely winning this game. Bro, you can't say that you felt pressure when you were up a piece in the endgame and you then gave it back for no reason. You had almost 5 minutes on the clock and so did your opponent.

i’m only rated 700, yet i’ve been playing for about a year. Now, either I’m trash at chess, or y’all are wrong.

If you're rated 1000, you're a dumb patzer with no prospects for improvement. happy.png (JOKE)

I'm rated 1k. By no means a genius at the game but the average seems to have gone down since the chess boom. The global average is now 655 compared to 800ish, just 2 years ago. I think anyone calling a 1k player, "trash" is being elitist. That said, I've noticed many players at this level kinda fly by the seat of their pants, so I get why higher rated players would consider 1000 "bad". The notion that players at this level are just blundering their Queen nonstop is false though.

This site is weird. You have a lot of players in the 800-1000 elo range playing at 20-40 centipawn loss accuracy in long >25 move games. That's actually too strong for a bracket which is probably even lower than the minimum required to get the lowest possible FIDE rating in existence.

For a 3 year old, yes.

I think 1000 is a real division line for players who just play with whatever gifts they have but don’t study or analyze or take lessons or learn names of openings. You can get to 1000 this way, but not much further unless you have real native talent. In other words, to play better than 1000 takes work, which is exactly what millions of us play to avoid. Sort of like breaking 80 on the golf course. Lots of weekenders can shoot in the 80’s on a good Saturday. It takes more to play in the 70’s and far fewer can do it.

I’m a 1650 in Chess.com. 1950 maximum rating at Lichess. Even if Lichess is way easier. Chess.com has many resources for beginners like you. So you should do more puzzles and lessons and learn it like a hobby.
