I'm 16 years old and I'm a self-taught Chess player. Unfortunately, I can't progress further because of it. Is there any way I can progress from 1160 to higher rating quickly?
What have you taught yourself? Bobby Teaches Chess? You can learn more than that. Capablanca Teaches Chess or Chess Fundamentals by Capablanca will push your ratings 200 up.
BTW is around 1700 USCF good for an 11 yr old?
Excellent! He can be NM before finishing high school if he maintains upward progress.
I'm 1682 USCF (but around 1800 strength I've been told, I lost some points at a small tournament where I was ill and played the U2100 at vegas which didn't help my rating either) and I am by far the best player in my school. The second best player I would put at about 1200 strength.
At my old school (I transfered from a boarding school to a public school this year as a junior), I was the first board but not the highest rated. We had an 1800 and several players of 1400+ strength who had never played uscf matches. I was first board because I was more experienced with scholastic chess (G45, 8 board teams, etc) than the 1800 player and I had a positive score in our games against each other.
And the last high school tournament I went to, I nearly won losing only the final game to a player who lost on tiebreakers (he was 1700, I blundered into a mating net with about 30s on my clock up 2 pawns in the ending).
But all of these ratings are USCF, not chess.com, and playing OTB and online are two completely different things.
And I've had two coaches, been studying chess a year and a month or two, and
Well done, you did it.
Alireza Firouzja will probably break 2800 as a teenager.
1400 is usually good enough to be top board at an average high school.
Many state scholastic champions are in the 2000-2200 range.
National scholastic champions are often in the 2400-2600 range.
huh, hes 23 now.
Started 7 year ago, so now 23. Age and ratings are immaterial. Here's a video of a GM who started at the age of 12 by loosing most of his games. By the age of 19 he was World Junior Chess Champion (1979) and a GM (1980). Audio gets much better a few minutes in . . .
He got over 1500 USCF. He could still break 1800, but it gets harder as we get older. The peak for most chess players is between 27-35.
Is a blitz of 2000 god for 5 yeer old.
I would doubt that you are a 5 yeer old.

Ur IQ
I am 13 and 2100. It isn't AMAZING but I just started playing chess in June of last year so getting 2100 in 6 months is pretty good ig
If your attitude is that you can’t progress, you’re right. If your attitude is that you *will* progress, you will be right.
