Is 700 a good rapid rating for a 13 year old(me)?

 I think if you are just playing for fun then 700 is a good rating but if your trying to be the best you are going to have to work and get a lot better.

No, 700 is considered almost universally bad, although somehow their are worse people still.

I was 900 just by knowing how the pieces move and that you should put pawns in the center and castle quickly.

At the time I didn’t even know of the 50 move rule or very basic positional rules of thumb, like trying to keep the pawn wall in front of your king as undisturbed as possible, or avoiding bad pawns.

Age means nothing in chess, stop thinking it affects your rating because it doesn't, you need to compare yourself with the other people

There is not good or bad rating for age. You are as you are

It depends on how serious take ur studies and the game.

I think 700 is not that great, I'm 12 and my rating is around 1200. maybe you should practice more!

700 is repectable, and you'll probably be able to beat anybody who dont play at all, but it is honestly pretty low among "actual" chess players. There isn't a correlation between age and rating, it all depends on how long you have been playing for.

get gud kid

plus if you put any dedication to chess you should reach 1000 in a month, otherwise you're stupid. No Offense

You shouldn’t tell ppl ur age online, but when I was 13 I had a rating of 1000. I will say thought that I was the best in my school, so it’s probably pretty good. Depends on how much you actually care about the game and how much you practice. If you are young and haven’t been playing very long, that’s a VERY good rating. If you do practice, it’s probably a little above average.

700 is a bad rating no matter what your age is...

... but if you're new to chess it could be a very good rating. On day 1 a person's actual rating is probably negative if we're being honest. 700 means you've made progress, so that's good, but virtually everyone who wants to improve beyond 700 is able to do so with a minimal amount of study and practice, so I think it's fair to say it's not a "good" rating.

Agreed.

 

As an 11-year-old my rapid is above average, but that doesn't mean I'm good. There are always people higher and lower-rated than you. Just work at your own pace.

this 11 year old is more mature than me 💀
