It's pretty good. The average rapid chess rating is only 733, so whoever told you that anything under 1000 is terrible was misinformed.
You should keep working at it.
Chess Rating- Almost 700 after 4 months. Is it good?

You’ve advanced around 500 points, from rank beginner to nearly 50th percentile. If you keep it up, you’ll make 1000 in a few more months. So your progress is fine. You wouldn’t be fishing for compliments, would you??
I just reached 744 yesterday (dropped to 707) but I think this good progress!
Is 839 rapid 749 blitz okay?

Very good, considering you joined 4 days ago.

Not true anything under at least 1600 is in fact terrible at chess
And in fact the overwhelmingly majority of people that play chess is absolutely horrible at it

Well yes, someone 400 points lower than you is horrible to you, but the truth is the vast majority of players, to the best of my knowledge, are rated below 500. Seven or eight hindred is therefore above average, and cannot be considered horrible. This is like stockfish giving you a miss for not seeing mate in 72 involving sacking four queens, under promotion, and avoiding a stalemate trap. It’s stockfish. Obviously, to stockfish, that’s a dumb mistake.

Its pretty good I think. You are 900 now. For the amount of games you have played, your elo/game ratio is quite a lot better than mine (yours however is over 4 months, mine just one).
I am trying to hit 1,000 within 2 months of starting. I am probably behind target at the moment, my first month is drawing to a close and I am at 430ish. But I am hoping that will be 500 at least by the end of August, hopefully 550-600.
My other aims are:
- 2,000 elo in puzzles (1,600 currently)
- beat all bots below 1,500 (beat most so far, working on the 1,100 and 1,200 bots at the moment)
1,000 elo in 2 months is probably not that realistic. The gap up from 500 - 1,000 is probably going to be a lot harder then I imagine. But we will see how I get on.

Just because your better than everyone else except for highly competitive tournaments doesn't make you good at something :/ and no alot of times I don't think someone's horrible just cause they are 400 points lower rated

It's easier if you think if you do it correctly but you probably won't so don't worry about it just focus on getting better btw alot of 500s have an issue of resigning too early just pretend that button doesn't exist at all

A 700 rating is pretty good.
Asking "Am I good" isn't so good, though.
In chess, validation comes from results, not from opinions.
I typically like to say good for a casual player but not so great for a competitive one

Thanks, I will keep doing what I have been doing and maybe add some end game lessons in.
I don't reign too often, most of the time I stay until its an untenable position. I have won a lot of games where I came from behind tbh. I think I get really motivated to win when I go behind, but sometimes it is just not possible.

Ok good but I do see a lot of people not resist at all cause they hung a queen but most of the time 500s unless it's an endgame struggle to convert up a queen it can be a bit of a problem at your level so if your not doing it that's good
Ps:your opponents are worse than you think but don't treat them like it try to play your best and don't underestimate them
If I have been playing for 4 months, and I am almost at 700, is that a good sign? I heard anything under 1000 is terrible so I don't know
