Is 1500 a good rapid rating on chess.com?

1500 is an good rating but if you played for already like 5,6 years I would consider it bad

It's excellent. 🙂♟️

What constitutes a "good" rating is subjective and can vary from person to person.

if you feel challenged and happy playing then i dont think it really matters lmao

I would consider 2000 a good rating for people who already played for 4 or 5 years

1500 is like 95%. You would be better then 95% of all chess players here. Given how strong all the players are here that's pretty good even if you have played many yrs.

I did not know that

Go to stats under rapid and check % I have a rapid of 1280 and I'm 91%.

its more then 95%

Most people on chess.com are under 1200 or 1000 so yeah its good

A person shouldn't be solely focused on elo, but its a metric guide to show improvement, and thus can't be fully ignored. I mean if people truly didn't care about elo all we would have is a win, loss, then people would be crazy about that.

1500 rapid on this site puts you well in the top 5%

But its equivalent to 1807 on Lichess, which won't even put you in the top 20% classical

Lichess has fewer weaker players. It also has the seperate classical category. Its puzzles are much harder.

Which seems to suggest it is the site for serious players?

I see a ton of people comment that lichess is weaker. I like the look and feel of this site much better.

It's a good rating

under 2000 rating is sucks bro. sorry

1500 is very good if you are an adult who has obligations and restricted free time to play. Don't listen to the elitists here who will tell you it isn't.

Never be satisfied with your grade. Always be looking to improve, otherwise you never will.

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
