@chess20202021 I'm envious of people who can not think about rating and just play for enjoyment because they don't experience disappointment - however I also think competitiveness to achieve a higher rating is important. Like in life if you set goals you'll grow rather than standing still. We are all stuck in our life circumstances, it's a balance of time, effort, and enthusiasm. how much of these do you have?

I enjoy this conversation thread, we all want to feel something about how good we are right now and how we could be better!

I think that 1200 is pretty good.

what number is considered a good rating?

I don't know, but that number has to be over 2000. I don't know where the dividing line is, but it is higher than 2000, it is probably higher than 2100 as well (this is just my opinion).

I have seen a 2200 rated player give a good fight to Naroditsky (and obviously lose, but that's ok) so maybe 2200 is the dividing line between good chess players and those who aren't good. Obviously, below 2200 there are massive differences among players, a 2100 rated player is much better than a 1100 rated player.

Just to be clear, I am talking about ratings on this site, not FIDE, although 2200 on this site maps to 1900 FIDE. https://www.chessratingcomparison.com/Graphs

no matter how much you improve, you will always feel like an idiot when you play (very wise, professional advice from a 2100)

True that. Also, I have never seen anything in life which made me think I am an idiot more times than chess made me think I am an idiot.

Dude, this is not a very good comparison site. Do you own it and are you advertising it? Because it is quite a below average site. For example, with regard to Blitz and Rapid, there is far too big a gap between FIDE and Chess.com ratings.

I don't get me wrong, for my sake I am too old and don't care for me. But the younger people should not use it.

Take care champion.

If you are in between these 2 types of people, then see this chart.

0 - Ok, I'm sorry, but this is just too bad. NOOB.
100 - Getting better, but still not there.
200 - 500 - still not there.
600 - 1000 - Hmmm. Nah.
1000 - 1200- You are a good chess player, you average around the rating people stop on chess.com.
1300 - 1500 - You can work hard and play professionally.
1600 - 2000 - I think this would be enough.
2000 - 2200 - Nice!
2200 - 2500 - OG MODE
2500 - 3000 - Are you a GM?
3000 - 3500 - World Champion. You're magnus, aren't you?

Did nobody read this?? I feel that this would be correct!

The average forum user rating is 2000 and when they post it makes me think 1700 is a bad rank

Pretty close I would say. But I would not say you could play professionally if you had a rating below 2200 and were not a GM.

Go to the puzzle pages and ignore the time. Just think through the problems and understand ramifications for reach move.

I said, if you WORKED HARD and then played. I never said you could play professionally at that point of time. As a 2000, You should be more observative @kp-aust

Actually you said "You can work hard and play professionally", you never said 'if'.
But I take your point and you may be right.
