what is a good chess rating?

Maybe the percentiles tell a more accurate story than the ratings.

I used to struggle to make the top 15% but am now in the top 5%. Unfortunately this is not because I have gotten better, its because there are many more users and that a great many of them are beginners. Probably only the top 2.5% of users could call themselves "good'" which plainly does not include me.

For a kid, I think that 1000 is a solid rating.

Kids have just started their lives, for goodness sake. They are probably getting used to chess, but barely.

I am a 1035 from the U.S.A, and so I think that people like me have a decent rating, since I am a kid.

That's all I have to say about US. Adults should get to 1250 to get a decent rating, if they are experienced. I understand that some get confused with pieces and their squares sometimes, some just are in the middle of the two. In that case, a good rating for them is at 900 level.

That's all!

bunch of idi ots

Literally anything above my rating. Don’t be me, kids 😭😭😭

HAHAHAHHAHAHA! Bro im 10 and my rating is 1700 -lol- FIDE is 1589 - lolololol

Quit bragging about your rating (it’s worthless to your life unless you’re a professional) and putting people down for having lower ratings. It’s not only disrespectful, it brings yourself down, because you turn ignorant and arrogant, and your worth as a person decreases.

Well said mate. Trash talking is for trash.

All I know is that I am bad at chess and I am unable to get past 400

Practice on the puzzle pages and try playing unrated games. There are also plenty of good videos. You will improve.

Thx

A good rating is prolly around 1600 for a player with about a year of experience.
