What is Consider a Good Chess Rating on this Site?

According to the statistics, 1,000 is in the upper half of all active players. 

It's all relative if you want to look at it anecdotally. 

I agree.

First off, we are both around 1200 Blitz. You've only played 15 games and have a 1500 Rapid, so I don't think thats a great estimate of your skill level. 

Secondly, statistically is what matters, not anecdotally. Yes, we all suck compared to Magnus, but we are both far better than 66% of active chess players on the site. 

15 games is statistically a low number of games and is not adequate of level of skill. It's provisional at this point.

It's very interesting you try to say you're much better than me (even though we are very similar in stats), regardless of your thirst to find an excuse why you might be better.

In either case, my point would not be influenced our stats, as statistics is statistics my friend.

Personally, I think GM is the start of being a good chess player in the world of chess, but I acknowledge that statistically being 1200 is better than 66%+ of active members on the website itself, which was the question the OP asked.

It doesn't matter if Im 2,300 elo and you're 500 elo or vice versa, the statistics won't change on the overall bell curve and anecdotal evidence stays anecdotal. 

All this trash talk is great and all, but as I said, irrelevant.

I know statistics, and I know anecdotal evidence. Again, it doesn't matter what your elo is, it won't ever change the chess bell curve on this site where 1200 is above 66th percentile. 

Doesn't matter how hard you want to believe otherwise, that's fact my friend. 

Man, listen... how can one be considered "a good player" if he did mistakes and blunder in almost all his (her) games ?

We are just these "good players".

Look at your games. How many silly mistakes you make if your personal rating is about 1200 only ! )

What you consider "good" is your own opinion. Be what it is.

However, if we look at the chess.com bell curve, then we can say what percentile is where, and based on that, we can say how good you are compared to the rest of the active players.

If you want to say a good player is 500 or 2500, it's your opinion. 

1000 to 2500

But that's not exactly a huge achievement, let's be honest. I'm in the top 10% for rapid and I'm only at 1300

My current blitz rating is 1441, my current rapid rating is 1547. While those are my "current" ratings, I have been inactive for a long time, so my "real" rating right now is almost certainly considerably lower. However, I am a high school teacher and recently chess has become very popular with my students - probably due to The Queens Gambit TV show - so I have played a bunch of OTB games against them and they view me like some kind of chess God, it is quite funny. Recently, when I was putting the beatdown on a bunch of them in a row one of them seriously asked me if I was top 100 in our country. My response was that I was maybe in the top 100000.

Everything is relative. Chess is a HARD game. To most people it is incredibly hard. A select few are gifted enough to quickly become quite good, but the VAST majority of people will forever be quite bad at the game and make blunders every other move, unless they play and study regularly.

yeah right you have some problems of thinking a 1,500 is an average not many people get to it i think average is 900 good is 1,100 and god is 1,400 and higher

1. oh shut up Mrs that is just wrong you think Americans don't know horsey moves thats is just wrong
2. and saying 2,000 is good that is just wierd
3. average is what to you 1,700
4. and god is like 4,000 that is just wrong

People seem to want to define words differently than what they are generally accepted to mean.

Speaking of mean, the average blitz rating on this site is 816.81 as of January 6, 2022. 

As they say, you could look it up.

I don't think it's ever appropriate to tell someone in a public forum thread "oh shut up Mrs"

but leaving that aside, the best answer to the original question is: 50-100 points above your own current rating. That is all. <micdrop>.

yes and a dog is a cat

You should take an online IQ test.

Sorry for the satire. You're 12. Someone needs to warn you now, before it is too late, that these internet rating estimates should not be trusted. The ONLY way to find out your rating is by playing rated games. Give preference to OTB ratings.

In daily chess, I am currently rated 1297 and am in the 91.1 percentile.  So, since supposedly, I am better than 91.1% of the daily players, I'd say that's pretty good.   But, it's a very high mountain to get over 1500 for me so, not so good?

The 2200 barrier is the trickiest to get over.
