Above average, but not respectable. On chess.com. On lichess, it's trash. On FIDE, it's impressive.

Play rapid, analyze your games, learn some basic openings and choose some which fit you best. Learn how to mate with queen and 1 rook. Think before every move if the move is safe and seek opportunities after your opponent makes a move.
I'll try. Thanks!

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.
How about motivate, not destroy?
Respected by whom?
The average person walking down the street? Well ok only about 1 in 10 would actually be interested in playing chess at all. In those 1 in 10 an 1100 would smash 9 out of 10.
So an 1100 would dominate over 90 percent of the population of the earth in a game of chess.

I gave up a draw to a 1200 yesterday. I was dead lost when he offered the draw. My rating points were refunded this morning.
1100 is quite respectable if you are young or just beginning. When my young students reach that level, they are usually regularly winning trophies. The few who reached 1100 while in kindergarten or first grade passed my rating in high school.
If you are an adult or have played chess for any length of time, a rating of 1100 indicates serious defects in your game, usually of a tactical nature. You drop pieces regularly.
Serious defects in your game lol. Look at the word game. Prioritize your life.

Indeed.
My priorities: Wife, dog, fishing, shooting, chess. Alas, chess takes up more time because I also teach it. My wife also thinks that I put my dog before her.
