Is 2000 elo in chess good?

It's really good being 200 ELO: This means you can spot checkmating patterns like a pro and you rarely blunder.

im not quite 2000 but im close enough to grasp what life up there is like

as a certified 1900 in the 3 major time controls, 1900 is actually really bad, I remember back in the day you would focus super hard on not making simple blunders and they rarely happen from like 1500-1600 until 1800 where they come back for no apparent reason

so i would assume 2000 isnt much different, again theres absolutely nothing such as calculating 10 moves ahead, but only simple tactics and not blundering pawns unnecessarily would help you survive in this rating range

now if youre talking about 2000 fide thats a whole different story but in short, i assure you its far harder to reach than on chess.com thats for sure

Reti... in his own day, one of the top chess talents in the world... was asked how many moves he calculated ahead during a typical tournament game.

He replied "As a rule, not a single one."

I think that 2000 elo is just a nice social status
