I've just reached it, and because I really want to improve and become solid player, I would like to know if that is good enough. It is rating in rapid games (30 min and 15|10).

And I'm also rated 1300 in blitz but not on chess.com. On some other site.

Yes, definitely a good advancement!

It took me 3 months after starting to go from trash (600) to "beginner" (1200). You seem to be on track, if not faster.

Yes, that sounds like good progress!

I went from learning how to move the pieces at age 19 to placing 2nd in a local under 1200 in 3 months.. then it took me 3 years to get to 1500 and another 6 years to get to 1700... lol

Following that trajectory, the math dictates that I should be a grandmaster by the time I am 132!

1100 after 2 months is pretty decent, can’t say u can be sad with that.

Stick with longer time controls, limit your blitz, and work on tactics...tactics...tactis.

No one has asked about his/her age. Not that matters, because if he/she didn't know anything about chess before it's still encouraging. However, age will determine how far can go.

How old are you, @Came4Fame?

Avatar of JayeshSinhaChess

Frankly it depends on what point you started from. If you were 500 when you started then 1100 is a very impressive jump. If you were 1050 when you started then 1100 is still an improvement.

 

The whole point though is that 1100 is not a bad point to be at assuming you were a complete beginner when you started

i play chess rarely like 8-10 matches per week and i started 1 month ago, my elo is 1,000 am i on track and do i have to give more time for chess?

Avatar of CharlyAZ

Definitely, you have to give it more time. That's the beauty and the tragedy of chess: incommensurable.

@piya_is_my_name The way you quote me, looks like I said all those terrible things that came after "How old are you, @Came4fame?" Hopefully wasn't on purpose. Also, why did you use that tone in your answer? If you have nothing positive to say, just don't.

Yes! Most people dont even get to 1100.

This is so cool 😎

Avatar of whiteknight1968

If you are playing at 1100 and enjoying it, thats good enough. Its better than playing at a higher level but getting so hung up about "progress" and "ratings" that you aren't having fun anymore.
