Hello! Hoping for answers
If you look at the Leaderboards, the average blitz rating is 629. So yes, 1100 is well above the average.
In rapid, the average is 623.
The bullet average is 588.
Is 1100 considered a respectable and above average rating?
Sort:
daily
Daily is 886.
ok thanks
others?
It's decent but definitely doesn't command respect
@bobby_max a player rated 1044 should not say this
1100 is good
Yeah 1100 is respectable enough, considering the average, but not the best possible in my belief
It's about finding a rating where you respect yourself. I personally feel disgusted with my chess and that's a big reason I am improving a lot faster than most people here. Don't worry about what others find respectable.
Not bad, but not op.
Urgh. These validation posts are so tedious. Just play chess and enjoy the beautiful game. Don't chase numbers.
Bobby max, so true the Botez sisters over here peaking out at about 400 rating
1100 rating is terrible. At that range, most games are just decided by who can take the most hanging pieces. It's even worse for Daily because lots of people lose on time.
1100 is a respectable rating. It is not like you are an expert at chess, however you are not extremely good. At 700 elo, you are below average however at 1400, you are 95th percentile, (better than 95 out of 100 people on average). At 1100, you are in the middle, which I would consider respectable

These percentiles are not accurate because people make multiple accounts to mess around with and leave them low rated. In reality the average is much higher, atleast 1000+
1100 is an advanced beginner. Many people play chess for decades and never reach that level. Everyone who studies chess exceeds it quickly. If you care about rating, study to improve.
Do tactics (preferably from books that arrange the problems in an instructive manner).
Learn the games of Greco, then Morphy, then Capablanca. Those should get you over 1600.
Learn checkmates.
just listen to what an actual 1100 has to say: they're the noobs among the people who know what they're doing.
