If a 13 year old was born in year 2001, a rating of 2001 would have been absolutely fantastic, but not average. Actually there excists some 13 years old that have made that level.

i know somebody with 2200 Fide and 13 years old. He was German Youth master and lives next to my City

Johannes Haug in my club has Fide 2130

But he is not normal. He is very talented, does a lot of training and tournaments, is with the youth national team, and has extremely supportive parents.

Interesting thing about Chess.com infaltion/deflation: on here my rating is around 1400, but I just took a test (not sure about reliability) and got an 1830... Here is the link to the test - http://www.chessmaniac.com/ELORating/ELO_Chess_Rating.shtml

He got FM at age 7

The guy probably isn't even close to FM strenth. maybe 2000 2100.....i don't know for sure, but i expect he just got his title by winning a tournament.

He cant even be close to 2000 Fide! I know the number 1 youth player in the world (Under 10) from Germany and he is rated 2100. There is no FM or definetly no player rated 2000 at age 7...

TheRealPhoenix

Whats the minimum rating for FM?

Till_98

Yeah, online ratings seem a bit inflated to me. There's no possible way that I'm "really" a 2160 player, for instance.

Fischer won his title at 29 (?) with a 2800 rating. Monster is waaaayyyy ahead of his time with 2800++ at age 23 (?)....

If you can progress like this, by age 28 you may be our next World Champion !....Think balloons, confetti, accolades, and how proud your mom and dad will be ! 

p.s. Try to get to 1300 before your 14th Birthday....You can do it !........ 

So since I am 13 years and 9 months and about 1700, then I am going to be plowing through the chess world before I'm 20? Yeah, doubt it.

You have the talents, but do you have the time? And the determination?

If you decide to become a Gm, then its only to do the job, but the job is huge, maybe ten years of five hours chess every day. Use personl trainers, play tournaments often, and all over the world.

Just remember "I'm about 1700" means "I wish I were 1700 but I'm rated 1500" or "in my best result I beat a 1700" or "I had a performance rating of 1700."

But yeah, he's young and not terrible so he has a chance.

I think chess mentor ratings are inflated as well.I dont think i am even near to a 2050 rating

For FIDE rated players, the median for those born in 2001 is ~1500. Of course, a lot of those are 12-year-olds, so the average would be a bit higher for 13-year-olds (only among rated players though). My FIDE rating's 1548, so slightly above average. 3307 have ratings, and 14369 are on the system. Only those above 1000 have ratings. So I would say the average is about 1000 FIDE, because many of those would have had a rating but are currently inactive or have not played enough games.

im not fide rated though and if the median for those born in 2001 is 1500 then i think i am doing worse with a rating of 1400 on chess.com

Well, it depends on which set of 13-year old you are looking at-chess players, all 13 year olds, kids who study chess...etc. The 13 year olds I've seen are about 1600 in USCF, and these would be kids who take chess somewhat seriously.
