I am 1800 is that good or not

It's an inane question! If you're a natural born chess prodigy its awful , if your a natural talent it's good , if you no good and work hard at it then it's great , how long is a piece of string? Age don't matter in chess unless you're old and are slowing down xxx

A player needs natural talent, dedication, training, and opportunities for competition. Reaching 2200 by age 18 is quite rare and exceptional.

Three typical progressions for young chess players:

  1. Exceptional Progress (very rare, <0.1% of players): Reaching 2200 by age 18
  2. Strong Progress (uncommon, perhaps 1-5% of players): Reaching 2000 by age 18
  3. Average Progress (more common): Reaching 1800 by age 18

Generalized adjusted scales:

Scenario 1: Exceptional Progress (2200 by age 18)
Age | Rating | Percentage of Final Rating
--- | ------ | ---------------------------
3 | 100 | 4.55%
4 | 200 | 9.09%
5 | 400 | 18.18%
6 | 600 | 27.27%
7 | 800 | 36.36%
8 | 1000 | 45.45%
9 | 1200 | 54.55%
10 | 1400 | 63.64%
11 | 1600 | 72.73%
12 | 1750 | 79.55%
13 | 1850 | 84.09%
14 | 1950 | 88.64%
15 | 2050 | 93.18%
16 | 2100 | 95.45%
17 | 2150 | 97.73%
18 | 2200 | 100.00%

Scenario 2: Strong Progress (2000 by age 18)
Age | Rating | Percentage of Final Rating

3 | 100 | 5.00%

16 | 1900 | 95.00%
17 | 1950 | 97.50%
18 | 2000 | 100.00%

Scenario 3: Average Progress (1800 by age 18)
Age | Rating | Percentage of Final Rating

My rule of thumb has always been 100 rating points per year. @runninglion
