Sort:
ChessGrandMaster_Original

Been playing rapid 10 mins for a while and was stuck at 700 basically the entire time. Started doing more puzzles and reviewing my games more and have now shot up to 1000 elo.

Can I now put "Intermediate Chess Player" in my instagram bio?

Also anybody else in the 1000's club (no begginers), hmu for a friendly match

I hate to break this to you.. but 1000 is still beginner
1200+ is intermediate

Depends on your starting rating, New to Chess is 400, Beginner is 800 and intermediate is 1200.

No. 1399 is considered intermediate by Chess.com: https://www.chess.com/article/view/study-plan-directory

You're in the 79th percentile, so only about 1/5th of the players on the website are ranked higher than you.

I’m 1600 and I’d say your def intermediate… gg on the improvements

Intermediate is above 1600.

I’d say above 1600 is advanced

I’m above 1800 and I’m not advanced.

I think you’re advanced 😀

I have heard 1200 is intermediate. @Ziryab is a hard grading post-grad professor. You might want to avoid his classes if you want to graduate.

Personally, I think 1000 is a super gm

Hahaha.

I have standards and have been known to grade student writing with some rigor, but passing my classes has never been harder than showing up for every class and completing every assignment. If you want an A, you need to do excellent work, of course.

BTW, what is a “post-grad professor”?

ChessGrandMaster_Original

tbh, I only signed up for classes with the professors that gave A's (Higher GPA, less work)

That’s why you missed the lesson on plurals.
