A first grader in a tournament that I ran last week improved his OTB to the mid-1100s. He’s very impressive. The last first grader in my city with a rating above 1100 had been kindergarten state champion. He’s in college now and has a rating near 2100.
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.
not this person who thinks all 500s should be removed
