IMO (you're speaking with someone who's a 1k rating) what's also important is to see where you rank against all players. Apparently I fit 85th percentile which means that on chess.com only 15% are better than me. On the streets where people don't play chess at all, a 1k rated player will tend to dominate 95% of everyone. Plus, it's a LOT harder to get a 900-1000 rating on chess.com, with more players, more tutorials, more videos, more books, etc.
Is 1000 a good rating?
hey, why does my chess.com account shows the dates i played games a date earlier? those dates are not correct. i played a game on october 16, but instead its showing that i played it on october 15. whats wrong with the dates?
yeah the average elo is 600 ish it on the rating thing I think u just have to look at ur full stats to show average elo
I hover around 1000 I don't consider myself a great player but I think 1000 rating is better than most that would play just for a casual bit of fun. I don't have any interest in studying the game but I do like playing it.. I like beating Americans the most , especially the woke liberals which I like to wind up. Hence my profile picture
Lichess is severely inflated, you've played a steady amount of rapid games on chess.com. 400 is your probable rating
No. It's rubbish. 1k to 1.5 is beginner. 1.5k to 2K is strong club player. 2 to 2.5K you are interesting. 2.5k upwards you are a monstrosity.....

1000 is pretty good for general play (non chess club players) but once you hit the chess world it would be surviving on natural unskilled talent which won't take you too far. 1000 is a good time to start taking lessons and learning defense. there is a lot that goes into traps and tying up your apponents pieces and controling the board so 1000 would be a novice.
no 1000 is not good unless it depends who the opponent is like 100 then 1000 is good but if it is like 2000 1000 is bad but if it 1000 then your the same level but 1000 is good in general
back after ages, dang i started this thread like 4 years ago and its still going on til this day! glad to know, and been playing chess barely these days. thinking to return to chess but got no time nowadays.
thanks everyone for still replying to this old post, and im thankful to all of yall who wrote in details. glad that people are trying to clear up the confusion
1000....1200...600...700..400...
Heeee.. paren che..! Acá el coso este dice que tengo 854 en diarias y 560 y otro coso y que se yo.. pero saben que..? Soy albañil y mis dedos te apretan de a tres jugadas juntas y tengo que sacarle punta para poder lograr la jugada que quiero.. jajaja. Es broma.. Chess.com es lo más.. pero si en la vida solo quieres ser el mejor ni te arrimes porque te vas a amargar.. jaja solo tú y el que está del otro lado del tablero y del mundo sabrán cuan bien o mal juegas un partido.. admiro a los GM y miro sus partidos.. me agrada mejorar pero no me desespera querer ser el mejor aquí.. lo único que me preocupa es que la casa qué construí ayer no se les venga encima a sus ocupantes 🤔. Ahí no me salvo con el elo ni nada.. me como un juicio y salgo a la calle a pasar la gorra. Jajaja. Desde Argentina, abrazo para todos... ríanse más y disfruten de la vida.. El ajedrez nos da, a quienes nos gusta, esa posibilidad también.
i have 1k rating here but i win against 1800 in real life tournaments what does this mean
