Average club player I'd say. I'm in the same boat (2100 blitz) and our percentile here is definitely inflated due to the casual players. If you go to any random club or tournament, we wont be in the top 0.5%, we'll be in the top 25% most likely.
How good is 2000 elo in blitz? (serious question)
2000 chess blitz is really impressive. Its like around 1750-1850 USCF. 2000Blitz isnt something anyone can get. I mean it takes a lot of time to do so. 2400 isnt just a tournamnet or club player, 2400 means you are at 2000 USCF or fide. 2400 means you an expert at chess, even 2200 signals 1800 or above for FIDE. I mean above 2200 is when things crazy since 50% you will play are titled.
Seems like every time I read a post on here in regard to eilo people just brush off what most would consider a very impressive eilo of 2,000 as though its (common). I wont be surprised soon if someone says I have a 3,000 rapid rating and someone says of thats really nothing cause there are like 1,000 players in our world of over 8 billion people, so no biggy get good scrub or some such....
Magnus Carlsen:
3276 chess.com blitz
https://www.chess.com/member/magnuscarlsen
2886 FIDE blitz
https://ratings.fide.com/profile/1503014
Hence 2000 chess.com blitz = 2000 + 2886 - 3276 = 2000 - 390 = 1610 FIDE blitz

Hence 2000 chess.com blitz = 2000 + 2886 - 3276 = 2000 - 390 = 1610 FIDE blitz
This could be right but a larger sample size would be useful.

You can generate any number of additional data points.
Fabiano Caruana: 3056 chess.com blitz, 2770 FIDE blitz
Hikaru Nakamura: 3300 chess.com blitz, 2874 FIDE blitz
Anish Giri: 3087 chess.com blitz, 2715 FIDE blitz
I watched Liam vs Danny yesterday, both were 3000+ and danny adopted the guy, as if playing against a rookie.
rating means nothing on chess.com, one can increase his rating by mass playing an opponent. usually by winning majority of those games, other one just tilts afterward.
to op: it means nothing in here, get a fide rating and play otb to figure it out
Hello, I've been playing chess on and off casually for a couple of years and I'm in the 1950-2000 elo range in blitz. According to stats I'm in the top 1-0.5% range. But it doesn't feel right since I've never studied anything or analyzed any game.Ā
are the stats skewed due to the massive influx of new players?
