What is Consider a Good Chess Rating on this Site?
Sort:
Down from my vantage point, anyone above 1000 is a pro. XD

Average rating on chess.com is around 1100-1300 so anything above that is a good rating

Above average doesn't mean that its good. Yes, I can say above 1450 rapid rating players start making lesser mistakes. So, it can be said as a good rating.

The 99th percentile in chess.com is considered good. >1800 rapid, >2100 blitz, or >2200 bullet. Anything lower is unacceptable lol. Jk

The bullet ratings here are unreliable as most of the people tryna win on time coz of the 0.1 second loss after everymove. Actually thats why I dont play bullet, I play blitz and rapid but if @ChessCom fixes this bug and make the server and app both more fast, then I would love playing bullet here too !!
it turns out i'm below average
I don't know about rating but put it this way: play a game with me, and if you lose, you suck, because I'm definitely average.

A good way to do it is to find the mean (average score). Statisticians would probably say that anything within one standard deviations about the 35th and 65th percentile is average. Anything between about the 65th and 95th percentile would be good (2 standard deviations). 3 standard deviations would be excellent (up to 98th percentile), and anything above that would be elite.
Of course this all assumes a normal distribution (seems unlikely, but probably close enough for rules of thumb).
You can find your percentile in your stats.
Feel free to disagree, I just thought I’d try to introduce some nominally objective standards.

+200 rating above your opponent is always good.
+ 400 is extremely superior.

Like, I started chess extremely late, 2 years ago, And in 2 years , I am 1700 so IMO For me thats a good a rating.
I've gotten about 25-30 cheats thrown off the site. Just constantly report them if you suspect cheating. I worte a blog and actually working on a book about it.
Awesome
