KNOW YOUR APPROX RATING

thanks, really cool site. i didn't answer the ratings questions at the end as i worried they somehow impacted the ratings they gave you. i'm a 1300-ish player on chess.com where i play the majority of my chess. this website gave me a rating of 1340, so pretty good estimate. i get that it was a timed tactics test and some might not think that's a good gauge, but the fact is you either know tactics/patterns or you don't, so someone know nothing about tactics probably isn't going to score over 1000 in a timed test like this. 

ok, so an update. i sent this link to a guy in my office who has played a few games but has done very little reading or studying. he scored a 1350. i think he has a natural gift with the game but he has no formal training or ability to know fork/mating patterns, yet scored high on the quiz. this is particularly troubling for me as i've played daily for 4 years, done literally thousands of puzzles and scored a bit more than my playing average. happy for him, hope he continues playing, but am now ever more aware of how mediocre i am!

It rated me as 1560 when I took it seriously, and I'm 826 blitz player... and I also took like 5 seconds for every one of the questions.

mine was 1700

I got 1864, but my chess live is 1500-1600, and my national rating 1200-1300.

But during games I often make blunders or get in time trouble, which probably holding my rating back.

Best way to tell your rating is to look at your rating here. Although the standard ratings here seem to be much higher than the blitz ratings.

2016, but my USCF is right at 1800. 

lol

thanks guys for feedback

Catchy name, "ELOMETER". Other than that,I could give it some credit as a test to measure your extreme time-pressure reflexes. Of course the idea that it can measure your real (Classical chess) playing strength is rather farcical.

Is this ELO meter just as good as the other ones?
