What is the average rating should every play have? • page 3/3 • General Chess Discussion • lichess.org

@giulatestacoglione The statistics speak for themselves... that's why we use them.

Most of the people that dont care about making an account and play competitively at least to some degree are not even creating an account and play anon games.

Also the statistics dont include provisional ratings (the ones that end with "?" e.g 1400? ) so every rating there is a product of people that made the effort to create and verify an account and then play enough games to get a "stable" elo rating.

on top of that players bellow 1100 elo (Which would be the ones that either dont understand basic things about chess or dont care that match about the outcome) are less than the 11% of the userbase.

@drunkenM4ST4 well 11% is for sure not a negligible number....then there is also multi accounts...

@drunkenM4ST4 it's not a negligible number but it counts! I mean in the IQ scale when you have more than 100 IQ you are smarter than 50% of the human population... but that 50% counts in people that suffer from complete retardation(e.g have IQ of 30) and other such disabilities.

Double accounts also dont matter that much.

Bottom line is that the statistics are solid and answer to the question "what ELO should I have to be better than 50% of people playing lichess?"
