a 1200 ranked chess player is a greater chess player in my opinion if tries hard at chess, learns from his mistakes and has a good attitude.When compared to a 2000 ranked player that is a sore loser and acts arrogantly.And refuses to talk to his opponents even after his opponents say hello or good game, etc.
