Is 1100 considered a respectable and above average rating?

A first grader in a tournament that I ran last week improved his OTB to the mid-1100s. He’s very impressive. The last first grader in my city with a rating above 1100 had been kindergarten state champion. He’s in college now and has a rating near 2100.

not this person who thinks all 500s should be removed

Hello. I was about 1700 blitz on lichess and 1100 blizt on chess.com I have played all my life over 30 years but never really studied. I do have openings up to 10 moves that i play within the 1st 20 seconds of the game. I try also to build my attack around my knights so will mostly trade bishops for knights. The advice about studying checkmates seems very good. i am going to do that more. i still fall for traps and players who know my openings and have studied then i find very tricky to win or even draw with. hopefully this helps!

Chess ratings are a joke. Unless you are making money on the game...it is a game and chances are you have wasted too much time and money on the game.

Hello everyone, I don't play chess often and so have very little practice as a beginner. Can anyone give me advice?(I'm a student and I don't have the time to play a lot)

Play rapid, analyze your games, learn some basic openings and choose some which fit you best. Learn how to mate with queen and 1 rook. Think before every move if the move is safe and seek opportunities after your opponent makes a move.

Above average, but not respectable. On chess.com. On lichess, it's trash. On FIDE, it's impressive.

How about motivate, not destroy?

I say 1100 is good enough. It's average enough.
