Is my rating 697 at rapid good after 3 days playing? And is it the same as Elo?

Hello, can anyone do a breakdown on my potential skill from the stats of my rapid rating. I play rapid for 3 days, first time in my life. 16 games 11 won 5 lost, which of one was an accidental game when I was only playing bots and I quit that one. My rating is highest 721 and currently 697. I feel like those are good stats but I am not sure if I interpret them correctly. I knew chess rules for many decades but I ve only got into playing active for 2 weeks and my highest defeated bot is ranked at 1700 but did not beat every but most 1500 bots. Is it good or too early to say? Also is that my Elo or if not what type of game is my Elo rating?

Elo means your rating. And yes, after 3 days of playing chess it is pretty good. And bots have a highly inflated elo. There are more types of elo, but on chess.com rapid is the best elo to measure your level. And also, please stop writing with white on gray, because my eyes hurt, okay?

Hi Fetoxo and thank you for your explanation, it is clear to me now. I wasn't aware font and color could be changed. I see you in the same color as that you find to be hurtful to your eyes but I have no problem with it. Did you do that on purpose hoping I would see your point or is that something settings related so I perceive all posts and replies from all players in that combination?

Wait what? But i didn't use that font! It must be a bug.

you don't use grey as background, but I can barely see it myself but it looks like I did in my first message but I can hardly see the difference cause I always use dark background when it's optional so perceive this entire page as grey by default.

My Rating Is Not The Lowest Anymore 102 Elo I Thought It Is The Lowest Elo But It Is Not.

sounds like I would have taken that Elo as a sign it is not really my calling to play the game, unless you just enjoy the game ofcourse, but I tend to enjoy games I at least win half the times.

The elo of 100 is very low, but I would not necessarily take it as a calling to quit the game. I started at exactly 100 - being the worst chess player in the world for two weeks. Now, I have a peak of over 2000. Learning and dedication are key.
