What is Consider a Good Chess Rating on this Site?

As Al Bundy would agree , a jillion is the benchmark of the best.

 7

1680+

That is what the fantastic group called the Killer Derivatives is called.

You guys should join. They're really good!

It depends on your personal goals.

I couldn't find a cheater fish but did find something called an "Ahole" fish:

Many of your comments are in my opinion, dead on.  I am 41 now and having being playing my whole life.  At one time I was as high as 1600 but now on here I am pushing 1400. I would like to get to the 1700-1800 level.  I love the game, keeps the mind working. 

I consider good to be:

2200+ CC

1800+ live

that can change though.....if I get any better at this game

And here I was feeling good about my climb to 1080!  1100 in reach!

I think that I've said it before, good is relative.

I'm happy being in the top 2% here, but feel that poor results are responsible when I am in the top 3-4%.

I'm in the top 10% on other sites where I have played, the top 8% of USCF players, but only the top 16% in my own state.

Ziryab :-  There is a brain drain toward national capitals.  Same in Canberra, Australia, where the average rating is higher than the other states.

As I posted before, 1800 [CC] is a good rating here.  I usually find players 1800+ very competitve.  Comparing ratings from other sites would be interesting but rather meaningless because of different rating system and pool of players.  On my other sites I'm pretty much messing about, but here on chess.com it's serious business .

I live in a rural area of a western state. The national capital is four time zones away.

I think live chess standard here, is stronger than standard at FICS and chesscube. I hover around 1900 standard live at those other sites, whereas here, I barely make 1700. 

chess rating on this site is as below

below 1500                         ordinary player

2200 to 2350                        national master

2350 to 2450                        fide master

2450 to 2550                         international master

2550 to 2700                        strong international master

2700 to 2800                          grand master
