That's coming from a 1200.

2300 rapid is a good rating.

"anything that is above 1500 is considered as a good rating"

its very subjective. If you just learned how the pieces move, 500 is probably very good. If you are competing at international level, 1500 is probably very weak.

Lets go with the percentages and say top 10% is relatively good. For rapid. Blitz doesn't matter and nobody cares about bullet.

here is my answer:

under 1200 novice

1200-1500 : beginner player

1500-1800 : good player

1800-2200 : expert player

2200-2500 : master player

above 2500: world champion

Like I said - very subjective.

A player in the high 1400s rapid would be in the top 4% but still a beginner by your criteria.

Why do people assume 1500-1700 is good? I am 2000 and I have only been playing chess for 2 years

ToMsTaR1102

This means anyone playing above 5 years can easily get 2000-2200

But I am only 2k on rapid

From all these comments I think it's fair to say that a good rating is subjective. My opinion is that a good rating is anything better than you previously were. If you were 1100 on Monday and can be 1150 on Friday, that's a good week. You'll go up and down, but if you're enjoying the game and happy with how you're developing then that's a good rating for you.

I HATE IT so much when people say people who are either 900, 1,000, 1,100 or people who are 1200 are "advanced beginners" like we are good at chess and NO ONE will say we're advanced beginners

Does the site have a screen that shows the average rating of players ? Or shows your overall ranking in comparison with all players ? I would imagine in this day snd age that wouldn't be a hard function to incorporate if they dont have it already.
