I'm stuck at intermediate level , how can I get to an advanced level?

You've improved 100 elo since last year, it's the same as me. At least we're not fully stuck and are improving a little bit

I'm confused! Is it a rating inflation OR an improvement? Real question is: did Hikaru really improved over the last year or two or is it just rating inflation overall?

2400 chess.com is enough to get a title if you play OTB classical

Nope

To get a title let's say CM you need roughly 2800blitz chess.com ! There's still no guarantee, I know plenty of people higher , then that and they struggle to get 2100 FIDE.

BUT if you've never played OTB and want to get CM title I would say having 2800 (bare minimum) chess.com blitz would give you good chances.

Is your otb rating increasing too? If it is then it's improvement

Rough estimate :

2800 chess.com blitz = CM FIDE title

2900chess.com blitz = FM FIDE title

3000chess.com blitz = IM FIDE title

3100chess.com blitz = GM FIDE title

I remember "wonderful time" IM FIDE titled was 3100+ or 3200+ chess.com and Hikaru said he was GM strength, soon after he got his GM title

No idea I've never played OTB

Avatar of chesssblackbelt

Oh well mine increased a little bit, same as my online ratings so it might not be inflation

There are some titled players at 2400 but they're the slow ones who don't play online much. I think 2700 is when I start expecting people to be titled but it's not always the case

Under 1000? Read predator at the chessboard and play OTB

1000-2000? Read Silman Reassess/Endgame books and play OTB

2000+? Read Yusupovs book series and play OTB

that is actually such a bad advice, I can see why you are not a coach

bro I played multiple people over the board that are titled players and they are not in the ranges you showed, there are 2000 fide rated women who are 2100 blitz, so stop the cap man and why are you even in the discussion if you never played otb?

plus ive been talking about rapid not blitz. blitz is just about mousespeed

Well I improved higher than you faster than you doing just that so maybe it's not so bad eh?

I'm sorry mati, but 2200 online is no good. and chessblackbelt? thank you for speaking truthfully unlike mati

Avatar of Bhoopalan-Ilayalwar

2200 in no good? How would you compare then? 2200 is like 1800 fide? Then 900 like me doesn't exist?

Avatar of Bhoopalan-Ilayalwar

I thought online us really difficult than otb since we face many engine using cheaters

Avatar of mahachessyodha

not even 1800 fide. like 1700

Avatar of chesssblackbelt

Yeah I would be more scared of playing a 1700 fide player than a 2200 cc player honestly

A 900 on cc would be unrated in fide because it starts at 1400
