If you take the top ten countries, those with over 1% of members, or 75% of total members, the average is about 1300.
Thanks for the information. But, how did you get this information?

If you click on Members at the top and then Country LIst you will see all the countries with their average rating.

Thank you! I am also curious how many chess games are played per day here on chess.com.

There are probably hundreds of thousands of games underway at any time. Some are live chess and others on various number of days per move. I usually have 6-8 on the go but I am playing a few people who have over 50 going!

Whether it is bullet, blitz or standard, the average rating on chess.com seems to be about 1200. Here's a link for more details.

Is it possible the average rating is skewed by dead accounts? I feel as though a player may quit if they lose their first few games and drop to a rating of <1000. Their rating would have an over inflated impact on the average in relation to the number games played.

I was thinking just this, I think it's easy to go unchallenged cause 1200 is kinda like a rating that you'd expect to be the average, cause someone cause play consistently for about a month or two and reach it. But given it's the normal starting rating I wonder what the average is of account that have played say, 20 games or more.
The leaderboards may only show accounts with enough games in the past 90 days. I know that is true of the percentile stat.

So the percantage stat on my profile (better then ~89%) means I have a higher rating then 89% of the active accounts? Do you know how many games an account needs to be considered active?

If it's like the percentile stat, it's at least 20 games in the pool over the last 90 days, though I don't know if it uses the same metric.

In case anyone’s still wondering nowadays, the average chess player on chess.com would be in the fiftieth percentile, which is 800 elo.
If you make it to 1300 today, you’re in the top 10% of players.
Is it conceivable that deceased accounts have influenced the average rating? If a player loses their first few games and falls below a rating of 1000, I believe they will leave. In comparison to the amount of games played, their rating would have an exaggerated influence on the average.

The original post was made back in 2010. Since then, not only has the rating structure changed, but there has been a huge influx of newer players in the past few years which has lowered the site's average rating significantly (which sits at around 600-700 for all formats at the moment).
400
Was just only wondering about this, so looked up this topic today.. Can't remember what I started at a couple of years back,, but am currently 750 and have been in legends league for a while... I can assure EVERYONE that it's a decent rating.. Once I climb to about 800, the standard is surprisingly high, and the play quite advanced.. To provide some perspective, I recent played a girl socially at the local shopping centre.. She said she was 1600 before we started.. I was a bit apprehensive as to whether I could keep up.. But I thrashed her, 4-0 !!.. Now ,she may have been fibbing about her rating.. But it made me feel better about being "lowly rated "....
Hi!
I am curious about ratings. The average USCF rating is around 1200-1300.
What is the average rating on chess.com?
Thanks!
