To be honest, in real life chess, I'm 1479. But online chess my rating is much lower at around 500ish. I'm not very good online. It is easier for me in real life.

I’m a damn good chess player. I beat my mom every time. And she even knows how the horsey moves. But I still have to explain to her how to castle. That’s besides the point. She’s smart as hell...If I can beat her then I can beat magnus

I would consider 3185 a decent Blitz rating, 3382 a decent Bullet rating, 2614 a decent Daily rating, 24436 a decent Daily960 rating, 65402 a decent Puzzles rating, 3069 a decent Live960 rating, 3050 a decent Bughouse rating, 2872 a decent 3 Check rating, 2963 a decent CrazyHouse rating, and last but not least, 3025 a decent King of the Hill rating.

also cm do not need to go to OTB tournaments

Like the other titles, CM can only be earned OTB.

Only the Arena titles can be earned online... and they are generally regarded as worthless.

You can view a distribution on ratings on here (https://www.chess.com/echess/players.html). It follows pretty typical Gaussian (aka "Bell) distribution, so if "good" is considered being in the top quarter, or tenth, or whatever you can go and find it yourself. It seems average on here is centered at 1310.

"Good" is relative. When I was a sophomore in college I thought I was good because I was one of the two best at the club. The next year a freshman came who was 600 points higher rated than me. Then I was not good at all.

 

In the United States if you ask someone if they play chess and they say "no," it's because they don't know how the horsey moves. In Russia, if you ask someone if they play chess and they say "no," it's because they're only 1600.

 

When I was 1200 (USCF) I thought 1400 was good -- those guys could really beat me! Now I don't think 1400 is all that good, but I sure think 2000 is good.  Hopefully that will change someday too. 

It is one more myth about Russia.

In our village for sure... you find only one Chess board... in my house.

And it is so because my grandfather and dad played Chess with each other.

And they played Chess in our family but  they could not go to play Chess in the club even

There were no Chess club for ordinary adult people in USSR.

They were only for kids... So called "the Pioneers Houses".

What is consider a good rating on the site. Well, I think if you are rated above 1800 then you are a good chess player. If you are rated 1500-1799 then you are average. What do you think?

Based on hard statistics, anything over 900 is above 50% percentile I believe. So maybe above 1,000 elo objectively. I guess it just means what you consider "good". "good" to Carelson is vastly different than what is good to a low GM, which is vastly different than a low IM, and so on.

You guys are crazy. Look at my stats. I'm still a terrible patzer. Don't you understand how bad people like us are compared to 2000+ OTB players? Don't you understand how bad 2000+ OTB players are to 2200+ OTB players? And so on...

1,000 is atrocious - at any time control.

My opinion... Good Chess player is a man with rating of about 2000...  not less. )

Look, almost all streamers here have... more or less... thе rating of that range.
