Rating 2000

In duplicate bridge one can get better by recognizing his mistakes and learning how to correct his mistakes. [and then trying hard not to continue making the same mistakes.

Same for chess.

they say that nice guys finish last

does that mean that Fischer and Carlsen are mean people?

What the hack...all these answers with this "it is all relative" crap. A 2000 rating would put you among the 5% best players, so yes, in an absolute terms, you are a good player -  are you a top player? Or a professional grade player? No (that would start in my opinion at around 2200)..... but you can certainly say that you are at right-tail end of the distribution -- yes for most people in the world you are a very good player when you reach 2000.
