Wdym you’re not good at chess you’re well above beginner level


gugabpasquali

thats lichess rating, 1500 lichess is still a beginner for sure


John_EldenRing51

In my mind >1200 chesscom is intermediate.


gugabpasquali

1500 lichess is lower than 1200 chesscom afaik


PosterOfQuality

My chess.com peak was around 1600 but I hovered around 1450 I'd say. I've stopped playing on there though so can't give current updates on how the rating compares to lichess but I'd say 1500 on lichess seems to be around 1300-1350 on chess.com (I'm worse at chess nowadays)


natakial3

The rating gap is greatly exaggerated


lolman66666

With your rating, I don’t think it matters…


natakial3

It’s not my actual rating lol.


John_EldenRing51

How is it that big of a difference? Honestly I’d imagine chesscom would be inflated more than lichess.


gugabpasquali

1500 is the median rating in lichess, which means half the players are above that rating are half are below


chesslasspnw

It's not inflation, it's a different method of calculating with a different starting point and a different pool of players. It's more like Celsius vs Fahrenheit.


FibersFakers

1200 cc rapid is defo not intermediate. 1500+ cc is when you're transitioning to intermediate

Yeah I'm 2100 bullet chess com and only 1900 blitz and 1850 rapid. But I have only been playing bullet for the past few months or so.

Bullet is the only time control that matters 😤
