If you're not contented on your own rating then learn how to grind hard

I am

Tilt more grindmore untilt then tilt again(actually getting better is usually a cycle there's a lot of rating go up but also rating go down and tilt)

After that you become prince and pretend 2300s good enough when every other game u hang queens or something dumb

1100 is good! anyways a peroson's value is not based on their chess rating or anything they've done. A person's value is based innately off of the fact that they are created in the image of God.

Thank you

1100 is average and actually you would likely beat a lot of people off the street. Forget about elo, it ruins the game.

I am around 1900 (rapid) now, I peaked at 2060. Still considder myself a pretty average player to be honest.

I will say that as you truly dive into playing 1100 is nice but the real goal should be 1400-1500 as that step up separates you from those who like to play and those who can play well.

Personally as a new 1100 I'd say that it depends on what your goal is. Mine is to eventually react GM.

Thank you for the recommendations for checkmate books. Any book recommendations for general tactics?

1100 is an advanced beginner. Many people play chess for decades and never reach that level. Everyone who studies chess exceeds it quickly. If you care about rating, study to improve.

Do tactics (preferably from books that arrange the problems in an instructive manner).

Learn the games of Greco, then Morphy, then Capablanca. Those should get you over 1600.

Learn checkmates.

1100 is above average among beginners. It is above average on this site. It is near the bottom among adult tournament players, but above average in children's tournaments.

Learn checkmate patterns.

Susan Polgar’s book is a good start. Sergey Ivashchenko’s two volume Manual of Chess Combinations are the best workbooks that I know (I’m still working through volume 2).

In beween, there are many excellent choices.

The first tactics book I read completely was Lev Alburt, Chess Training Pocket BookBut, I’ve dipped into dozens of others.

depends on age

9-15-very good

16-25-ok/not bad

26-40-bad

I wouldn't say that for 26-40 age, 1100 is bad, since at that age there are a lot of people who don't play chess, and also back then, they didn't have access to good chess education

As a 1100 ish on bullet i can say, i only win from my opponent losing time; resign due to dissconnect lol.

1100 rating is terrible. At that range, most games are just decided by who can take the most hanging pieces. It's even worse for Daily because lots of people lose on time.

I think you confused 1100 with 600. 1100´s can get pretty decent accuracies and games, and it usually comes down to pawns, or maybe even pawn structures. endgame knowledge and predicting moves is vital at this level. Take it from a 1200 (rapid) that knows what it´s like to play at the 1100 level. I feel 1100 is decent but still room for improvement.

Like your almost not a beginner but not quite good enough to be in the middle sorta cause that's what I was thinking ?

But yes 1200s hang pieces all the time lol occasionally they play well but they choke under pressure alot like they play decently some games but miss alot of stuff

In 30 minute rapid games 11-1200´s rarely hang pieces. in blitz sometimes we hang. but calling us ¨terrible¨ and ¨who can take the most hanging pieces¨ is very much wrong, as well as rude

I wouldn't say you guys are terrible I just wouldn't say you guys are "good " either but im pretty sure I thought I was pretty bad and blundering peices /squares all the time when i was 1600-1900 lol

No hard feelings this was just my experience going up the rating ladder lol

It doesn't depend on age, but on experience
