Minimum rating to be taken seriously?

What do you all think is the minimum rating you need to be taken seriously by masters? 

I think its like 2000?

2100

bruh 2200 is master

cm

so youre saying masters dont take themselves seriously

id say like 2000 or 2100

what do you take seriously?

depends which masters, i guess. I imagine CMs and FMs take 2000s seriously, but GMs are unlikely to, and definitely the top players won't take anything less than GM seriously - I mean Magnus has been doing ridiculous openings in blitz against other GMs cos he's the goat.

1000 = amateur student. 1500 = amateur player. 2000 = professional student. 2500 = professional player.

how can you be a professional student? get paid to learn?

By who? Pretty much everyone on earth? A rating here of about 700 should do it.

By serious chess players who devoted hours of their life for years to study the game? Much higher.

id say people above 1850 are taken seriously, many people below that play as if they are rétárdéd (on chess.com, nobody plays like a rétárd OTB) but otb if you are above 1600 you are taken fr

Competitively, around 200 points below someone's rating can still be taken a bit seriously. Below that and it's hard. I know 300-400 points is still close enough to win sometimes... but when it's that far apart it's hard to care much about your opponent heh.

But taking seriously in other ways... even if you're a GM you can respect that it took someone a year to get a 1200 rating (or whatever). People who are obsessed with chess tend to like others who have some of the same obsession... but obviously a GM wont take a 1200 seriously as an opponent.

The tricky thing with rapid is if it's too low OR high you can't take it seriously

Which master? Kasparov famously labeled most GMs chess tourists

no one told me that this was online

anyway

otb, 2200 is the definition of master

and i assume everyone takes themselves seriously, so 2200s are taken seriously by masters (2200s)

I usually take 2200s seriously, but when they have been floored at 2200 for years and years I don't.

It depends on your own Rating. If you are 1500 a 1700 can be taken seriously. If you are a 1700 a 1900 ist a serious opponent.

In general I would say a 1800 is a strong Club player.

(OTB rating, not chess.com puzzle rating)
