1100 and 1200 are above average, but definitely not respectable
All these questions have no sense. Here on chess.com we are dealing with highly distorted rating system. Read my topic here, at least last messages:

At OTB tournaments, 1100 is the lowest rated player.
If you're not contented on your own rating then learn how to grind hard

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

That literally every 2000.... And it's called mouse slipping too..... But not rly a queen. But 2000-2500s hang something tactical every game at least once.
That means they are not real 2000 to 2500 or maybe they're playing bullet? A 2000 does not hang a piece or a simple tactical shot in real chess.

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 Book. But, I’ve dipped into dozens of others.
