What's the coolest rating?

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of 2075. The only mildly interesting bit is that Global Warming is finally revealed as a hoax. Oh, and Daniel Radcliffe wins the Oscar for Best Actor (for his role in "Star Wars Episode XXI: Now It's Just Getting Silly") at the 147th Annual Academy Awards.

2200 is pretty nice since it's an often-used threshold for "master". Palindromes are nice too, maybe 1111. 808 would be a good rating if your name was Robert.

really anything that shows your strength. Well, 666 is not. (lol)

I think 2500 - a real milestone, GM level
although 2800 seems to be pretty cool now.
Well, it fluctuates, it's always one lower than my rating. Because I'm always cool, you see? 
I hope to get past to my birth year on here. right now playing at rougly an 1850 level so I have a ways to go
It is, without a doubt, 1337.

OK, now I'm gonna have to be the rustic boob and ask what the heck all this 1337 stuff means.
The Hundred Years' War (French: Guerre de Cent Ans) was a series of separate wars lasting from 1337 to 1453 between two royal houses for the French throne...
Atenean is incorrect.
The correct answer is that 1337 is internet leet-speak. Leet is internet for "elite", for starters. 1337 is leetspeak for leet.
leet = 1337. (see how the numbers spell the word?)
To be "leet" in internet terminology is to be skilled, saavy.

It stresses me how unaware of the internet at large chess.com denizens seem to be, really. You seem incapable of handling real trolls, unaware of internet message board general protocol and humor, and unaware of even basic internet memeology. It's almost as if you're like, chess nerds or something. Oh wait...
Not the highest, the coolest.
I'm very pleased to have just lost a game that currently puts me at 2001 - that was a great film & I'm happy to be there. Other Brits might also enjoy being rated 1066 - or maybe not if you think that was a poor moment in our history.
What would your favourite be?
