Explaination of Chess Rating's

For the past 20 years, ratings in the USCF went like this:

  • 1200-1399 = usually a beginner;
  • 1400-1599 = average club or tournament player, most people can achieve this level if they work at it;
  • 1600 - 1799 = consistently above average;
  • 1800-1999 = strong club player, takes the game far too seriously! Has lots of opening knowledge;
  • 2000-2199 = Expert - extremely strong, consistent player with the possibility of achieving Master rating, may have real talent;
  • 2200-2399 = Master - strongest amateur rank, hasn't quite got the hang of things yet but maybe one day he/she will wake up.
  • 2400-2499 = International Master (IM) - weakest professional rank; strong, experienced international player, eats Masters for breakfast;
  • 2500+ = Grandmaster - eats IMs for breakfast, lunch and dinner, a star in the firmament of Caissa, a chess genius who thinks nothing of playing 20 and 30 board simuls against Experts and Masters and is disappointed if he/she doesn't win every game, capable of playing several blindfold games at the same time.

    • Объяснение шахматных рейтингов

    Рейтинги в USCF, по крайней мере, около 20 лет назад, означали примерно следующее

    • 1200-1399 = обычно новичок;
    • 1400-1599 = игрок среднего уровня играющий в шахматных клубах и турнирах, этот уровень по плечу всем кто поработает над своим мастерством;
    • 1600 - 1799 = уровень выше среднего;
    • 1800-1999 = сильный клубный игрок, воспринимает игру очень серьезно! Хорошо знает дебюты;
    • 2000-2199 = Эксперт - очень сильный, последовательный игрок, вполне способный достичь уровня Мастера, вероятно имеет большой талант;
    • 2200-2399 = Мастер - самый сильный аматорский уровень. Еще есть чему поучиться, но, возможно, вскоре будет прорыв.
    • 2400-2499 = Международный мастер (IM) - самый слабый профессиональный уровень. Это сильный, опытный игрок международного класса, легко победит Мастера ;
    • 2500+ = 'Гроссмейстер - запросто победит международного мастера, звезда на небосводе Каиссы, шахматный гений, который запросто может играть 20-30 одновременный партий с экспертами и мастерами. Расстраивается если проигрывает хотя бы одну игру. Может играть вслепую несколько игр одновременно.

                          I do enjoy shorter time controls (1min to 5min blitz).

                                One thing I've always wondered about online chess. How do you anti-cheat it? I guess the timer is there to help with that, but what prevents someone from running the same simulation on their own PC with highest difficulty setting, and just playing the same moves as his opponent while following the computers moves himself?
