are casual chess players considered strong ? I mean, in real world..?



1100 ?
1200 ?
1300 ?
2600 ?

what do you think. When you ask someone if he knows how to play chess and he says "yes" usually it means about 1000 ?!

That's what I am talking about. RHP introduces tough competition, a lot of fanatics, chess addicts, so it is normal there is always a lot of people stronger than you. But in real world 1400 is very very decent for the casual player.

Yeah, I think there's a few quirks going on.

I've posted a couple of times and instead of returning to the original post/forum menu (can't quite remember what it does), it's taken me to a completely different post.

Luckily the post has gone to the right place ***fingers crossed on this one 🙂 ***

In the real world I think I am much better, of course there I don't play 6 games at a time or play @ 2am. (unless its THAT kind of party). Here I can't break 1300. I consider myself casual.

1200 is considered a bright beginner. most people barley know how the horsey moves, they are below 900.
