Pardon newbie question(s):
On the point rating system here: What would be the distribution: Top 1%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 95%, 99% tiles. I suspect that it is skewed (few top players).
What's considered a beginner/intermediate/advanced rating? (probably subjective).
How does the rating on the tactics trainer differ from the ratings from live chess?
What are member points?
Thanks
