Hi, does anyone know whether the statistics about all of the players of chess.com can be viewed anywhere. I do not mean individual statistics of a single player. I mean the mean and average curves based on the site's rating measurement formula.

Reason I ask is when you look at your own stats you can see what percentile that has to do with your standing compared to others. I think it used to be percentile that showed in what percentile you fell, now it shows percentile of users that are weaker than you. I am not sure even. But in any case, I want to see the mean and average distribution of ratings of players on this site to at least get an idea how many players are above 2500, 2000, 1000, 1200 etc.

I assume 1200 is the staring point for all new players because that's the center of the average curve but I am not sure.

Anybody know where the stats can be seen?

Yes, you can view that on the stats pages, under the leaderboards for the time controls you are interested in.

Also, 1200 is the starting rating on v2 of the website. v3 and the app allow the player to chose a strength, beginner to expert. There are 5 or 6 levels I think and the range is 800 to 1800.
