Is 1000 a good rating?

No, the original question was “is it good” and only then did terms like beginner get thrown around. Good requires context and goals. Is it good for a large open tournament? No. Is it good compared to most users on the site? Sure. H

Definitionally untrue.  1000 is about 70% on chess.com - well above "average". 

I dont understand

He's talking about Rapid (average rating around 800).

You're talking about Daily (average rating around 1030).

Two different worlds...

Im talking bout bullet..

Finally! An information we can do something with! Thank you. But even this information is not clear enough! Please tell us in which time playing setup 1000 is about 70% because I believe that this percentage information differs a lot depending on the time setup.

Found this:

The average chess.com blitz rating is 913, and the majority of players fall between 400 and 1400. Typically ratings start at 1200 on chess.com and quickly adjust to one's playing level with the Glicko system. Chess.com ratings tend to follow closely to FIDE and USCF ratings.

Sorry - You're right.  I play Rapid and that's my world so I only think in terms of Rapid.

It's a great rating... Particularly if you have played over 1000 games before.

@WoodyTBeagle: Yes, it´s the same with me, only see daily games, because I only play such. I also would like to know how good 1000 is in daily games, but I´ve got no idea how I could come to this information. Have 1600, and that is about 97 %.

Yes, you can certainly make blunders faster than he can. No argument there.

thats like saying boris spassky lost against fischer only because he blundered more than fischer.

@blueemu: ah, did not see your bit older post.... sorry. So the peak of the gaussian normal is 1030 in daily? thanks. How did you come to these infrmation? I could not find any source when I surched.

800s aren’t as bad as you would think, our main problem is just not blundering
Avatar of NikkiLikeChikki

@GMWilhelmSteinitz ... if memory serves, and I think it does, there was only one move in the 1972 world championship that could properly be called a blunder. That was the famous one by Fischer in game one. Fischer definitely played more precisely, though. If your opponent plays all "best moves" and you play all "good moves", you're going to lose.

I would say it's better to use percentiles:

An Expert can be beat by a good play, but will usually win.  An IM or GM will beat even a great player, but have to respect the game.   So, I would say 1000 is decent - but not yet in good territory.  Verging on advanced intermediate.  

Does that make me an expert?

decent, average of chess.com, but it's already really high for me lol
