One who is optimistic will say his rating, even if he is a 100, is good. One who is a Pessimistic will feel his rating his rating will never be enough. 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!

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.

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.

Right. It may have been a mistake. But have some sense, what type of 1500 plays Internationally?

My friend, I did not correct you to put you down or for my benefit, but there are others on here with lower ratings who may wish to know this information. That was for them. Take it easy.

This article made sense to me: What is a good chess rating?

So basically 1200 is good for most of us (beginners), 1500 is a great goal, 1800 is really good and 2000 is almost professional.

for me (and I think for most of the human race) - about right! but... depends on your current rating, for example if you're currently 2000 and for still wanting to improve you'll think of yourself as only good and professional is 2500 that's why this thread is so confusing (debatable waste of time) everybody has their own version on what is "good". However in my opinion - ok is from 1200, good is from 1500 (me), 1800 is from excellent, and 2000+ professional to super. If you enjoy just playing forget about your rating (hidden on focus mode), if you want to improve you need to work at the game outside of just playing - how far you go is up to you. 😊

The average rating for an adult chess player is 900.  This means that players who have some experience and study al little bit will have a higher rating and those who play occassionally for simply recreating will have a lower rating.

Personally, I think it's okay to play chess simply for fun, learn some new things if you want to, and don't care so much about your rating.  Even a low-rate can play a btrilliant game now and then.

A rating system with a defined numerical method of determining how good a person is at something is not up for debate. It has nothing to do with perspective or your emotions. Other than that I totally agree with comments like yours ElMiistii....
