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
Red Alert! We have yet another OP who needs a hug.

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.

not this person who thinks all 500s should be removed
Hello. I was about 1700 blitz on lichess and 1100 blizt on chess.com I have played all my life over 30 years but never really studied. I do have openings up to 10 moves that i play within the 1st 20 seconds of the game. I try also to build my attack around my knights so will mostly trade bishops for knights. The advice about studying checkmates seems very good. i am going to do that more. i still fall for traps and players who know my openings and have studied then i find very tricky to win or even draw with. hopefully this helps!
no, 1100 here is a joke
Chess ratings are a joke. Unless you are making money on the game...it is a game and chances are you have wasted too much time and money on the game.

Hello everyone, I don't play chess often and so have very little practice as a beginner. Can anyone give me advice?(I'm a student and I don't have the time to play a lot)

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

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.
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
