How good are you at chess?
I'm terrible but i love playing the game. I'm probably 1200 rating.
shareI'm terrible but i love playing the game. I'm probably 1200 rating.
shareI'm a very enthusiastic player, at my best around 1900-2000 elo, currently about 1700 I would think.
Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste......
I can beat anyone who has not studied chess, but I will lose to anyone who has studied it. My rating is between 1500-1600
shareThis is pretty much where I'm at as well. I know enough to beat most people who have never sat down and SERIOUSLY studied, but against people who really know what they're doing I'm in trouble.
No clue what my rating is. I have a USCF membership but I still haven't played any rated games.
Ditto.
shareI had an A rating in the 1990s before I quit playing tournament games, which were too much stress for me. Winning became more important than having fun, so I decided to step away from the game.
shareAbout 1800 or so FIDE.
shareMy peak rating was 1499 when I was 11 years old.
I haven't played any rated club games since I was a youth, but I recently registered on chess.com.
I mostly only play online speed chess games. I hover around the 1200 ratings mark or so but I suspect that there are a lot of cheaters when I play online.
I have no idea but I played ALOT in prison and was getting good. Plus I read books on it. I kind of got obsessed. Of course you quit playing for a while and you start to suck real fast.
shareMy current rating is 1665. I'm a .500 player against skilled but not championship-caliber players. I'd say I've won about 25-33% of my games against higher competition. I won a game the other day against a 1900+ player who had me totally against the ropes. I'm still not entirely sure where he erred. It was exhilarating.
Watching players on Fisher's level is mind-boggling, though. He'd have beaten me in minutes.
I'm looking forward to this movie. Searching For Bobby Fisher was a long time ago. We need more chess movies!
I'm a C or D level player. Maybe high C on a good day.
