It's subjective. Everyone divides their time in different ways.

LudwigVanWulfried

i read all comments, and what i see is even the ppl saying that 1500 is low, if you search profiles from all comments here you se 90% are under 1500.

in my main i my record in rapid (10minuts) was 1600 but im solid 1500, in bullet my record also get betwn 1500/1600 and the same for blitz, i feel im bad? yes, cuz idk the oppenings concepts i know how just some opennings by playing alot but i never studied chess, all i know is experience and learning w my loses and is that, i just think and play by my instinct, so if i study maybe i get closer to 2000 but ill take some years that o dont have to speend, but listen, once i had this rating i never lose an irl game so what i see is you will lose only if you go to a place that ppl play chess real serious, bcz if you didnt find real chess students you gonna beat easy like more than 95% of pll so 1500 is great

above 1900 of rating is ppl that are semi professionals and 2000 to 2100 and more is kind professional players rating, if you consider alot of masters are 2500 and lets be realistic a player that has 2000 or 2100 is not on the same level as someone in 2500 thats right but if they play alot of games sometimes 2500 guy will lose so 2500 is like grandmaster rating is like an insane good rating that only a really low % and few players can reach so bro, if you compare to other sports, an 1500 rating is very good bcz is closer to 2000 if you focus and study that, and 2000 are closer and sometimes can beat pro grandmasters, so is like if you play soccer and if you train more you gonna reach skills to defeat sometimes some good pro players that live to play...

1500 is like 95%. You would be better then 95% of all chess players here. Given how strong all the players are here that's pretty good even if you have played many yrs.

its more then 95%

Yo! I am 1547 rapid and I have a percentile of like 97.2%!

I started about 1½ years ago. I think that if you are 1500 after playing for like 5 years, then that is bad.

Also, it is all relative.

yeah bro youre kind right, but listen most of the players play just for fun, and do not study the game, like me i never study the openning, i just learn by playing, my best account i get the record of 1700 bullet 1600 blitz (3minuts) and 1800 on rapid (10 minuts) but today i was like 1400~1500 on all, but like i say o work and study and pratice bjj like everyday so i dont have time, and age/patience to study chess só i literally play for fun, so i consider my rating very good for someone that never study the game, bcz if i focus on my best period maybe i reached the 2000rating but bro if you play here on streets (brazil) with 1800~2000 you gonna beat 99% of ppl, so why ill spent that ammount of effert if i know that ill never be a real pro/grandmaster? bcz to go for that you have to start early, im old for start at chess, im close to 30yo so im quite ok with my rating, ofcourse i want to be better but il still playing following my instinct and experience from past games, and like i sayd be good on that without never study is quite intresting, is like when you learn a langangue without studying... (like my english, is quite bad? it is but i never take a lesson of it i just understand bcz of songs and tv shows and im ok with that)
