What is Consider a Good Chess Rating on this Site?

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.

122

I have rating 1600 and I can't figure out to get higher than that on this site.

I an 256

lol

You aren't 1600 . That's your provisional daily rating which will most likely reduce once you start playing

There's a graph on the right

I am 2000 in rapid in chess.com and 900 in us chess

In rapid 10 min, is 353 good?

I think it sucks like hell

average rating is 600 chat now decide for yourself

At the time that you posted this, you were on the money. Much has changes since then. For instance chess has grown in popularity while the average capabilities of most people have deteriorated. Today, an average rating on this site is well below average. 1800 is in the top 1%, but whether players at that level are “good” remains a matter of personal judgement. In the past few weeks, my rapid rating has been as high as 1905 and just below 1600. I had to play some terrible chess to fall below 1700, but getting above 1800 is mostly a matter of having terrible opponents who give me easy wins. Occasionally, I play a decent game.

Even this game, where I beat a 2000+ player in 12 moves, was merely taking advantage of horrendous errors of the sort that you might expect from a beginner. I was White.

I reckon anything above 1100 5 minute blitz is good, above 1200 very good as you are getting close to the top 10%

i am 508. But I know on a given day I can beat even 2000 elo player. I know all the gambits. I just do simple blunders hence I am stuck at 500 elo. If I dont do these blunders then I can go pro like Magnus.

your best win is 515

I think 1400 is good, 2000 is expert

I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. People seem surprisingly good on this site. I used to be able to swing a 1200 or 1300 briefly, but now it's hard to keep it at 1,000. Granted I don't play all the time. But I played an acquaintance in person recently who rarely plays, and I crushed him. So it's all relative.

1 elo is bad from 2 elo it will be a good elo rating

Surely you just look at your percentile

On Daily I am top 12% surely that means I'm well above average as I believe the calculation excludes dormant accounts 🤔
