Understand, though I am rated 500 and definitely in like the 1200 section on this sheet. I think the ratings are slightly deflated at lower levels

This is accurate for OTB ratings except for 2200 being "almost master"
It is NM or CM

CM is not a master. NM is absent from the chart. As I said, it was the most accurate I’ve seen. I didn’t say it was perfect. I’ve seen a lot of similar charts that are garbage.

But every good player was once a 500 elo, so keep playing
Was everyone once 500? Really?
Was Morphy? Capablanca?
