What’s Your Chess Level? Let’s Share and Improve Together!

Hi everyone! I recently wrote a blog on the different levels of chess players based on rating — from beginners all the way to masters. I thought it would be fun to turn it into a community discussion! 

Blog link- Understanding Chess Ratings: What Do You Stand - Chess.com

Drop your rating playing level based on my blog and give advice to players at the level below you. That way, everyone learns from each other!

I am 1000 an casual player according to your blog.

Thanks for sharing! 1000 is a solid start. Keep practicing tactics and avoiding blunders, and you’ll move up quickly

Thanks for your advice!

According to your scale I am “candidate master level.” Sounds pretty cool

I transpose into the scotch gambit btw

My advice is to make an alt account, so that if you are tilted or worried about your rating you can play there. Also to test new openings etc

Me The Casual Player

@Shadowverseshowdown Whats your age?

@Awesomedude2053 I also Play Scotch Gambit

I would think I should have a higher rating than I do. However something strange keeps happening. I will be dominating in a game, then the opponent take like a 2 min pause, than starts playing almost perfect moves. I am thinking " wth just happened?".

It’s AI

Don‘t fall for it

O.k. I guess I should stop playing people. I think I'll just play stockfish 14 at lichess. At least I know I'm playing a computer.

I am 1300 chess.com but i beat 1900

Nice!

i was black

I’m not candidate master level, you need 2200 FIDE not chess.com.
