You were talking about economics before. Some law of diminishing returns, that's what I was referring to.
The ldr is applicable to chess. Ask any high-rated player if it didn't take more effort to improve as their rating increased. That's what the ldr says will happen. As I said before, the ldr is applicable to things other than economics.
The day I first joined..after one or two games, my ratings started to sky rocket dramatically. I kinda got scared tbh...

Have you played Chess Titans on Level 10 ?
It is useful in as much as to have a record of the game you have to write the score down yourself.
That is required for most Over The Board games at clubs and tournaments.

I have a Macbook.
Recently, I have experienced an incredible jump in my blitz rating.
I was rated 782 on December 5th, and today I am rated 1075. That is a rating increase of 293 points.
I was so impressed with this achievement that I began to analyze how impressive it is. I was of the opinion that my increase from 782 to 1075 (293 points), is equally as impressive as a GM going from 2500 to 2793 (Also 293 points). But then I got thinking, my rating jump is arguably more impressive since I am a beginner. It is easier for a GM to improve because he is already an expert.
How impressive is my rating jump in reality, and how does it compare to a GM jumping in rating by the same amount?
Thank you for your input in advance.

You could not be more mistaken if you wanted to be.
a 293 point rating gain for someone at the rating level of 2500 is extremely more difficult - they are already in the very tail of the bell curve. you are below the average and a 293 rating point increase is waaaaaay easier. you are only moving from way below average to below average. That is an easy feat comparatively speaking.
At the highest levels even gaining 20 rating points is a huge deal.
I would argue that I could be far more mistaken. And exactly you said that a 20 point increase is a huge increase. I don't understand how 293 points is not more impressive in your opinion. I sense a bit of contradiction.
I doubt that your 9 year old sister could compete with the likes of me after only a week of practice. You do understand that a rating of 1000 is pretty much an advanced player. If she is at that level after a week of practice maybe she should consider becoming the next world champion. By the way, how did you manage to force her into chess? I posted a thread about how difficult it was for me to force my nephew to play chess, very insightful. Anyway thanks for your reply.
bro calm down he is happy ok no need to burst his bubble
People ALWAYS hit a high water mark then fall back down to a more realistic rating, it's possible you've done so and are really an 800 player.
Which would be sad.
The OP created this thread to discuss his own accomplishments. Anyone else talking about their own accomplishments is going off-topic and therefore must only be doing so in order to boast. So there is no contradiction here.
I think at your rate of progress you will be rated 4000 in about a year and a half especially if u stop leaving your queen en prise in the first 10 moves or so...Carlson watch out
4000?! No way. But 3300? Who knows
