Are you satisfied with your rating?

@CheerUpChess-Youtube
I play on C.com or in person OTB. I only played here a few times with a friend from NL who wanted to play a few practice games.

I spend a lot of time on Chessable, not that there's any ratings there. (I don't care about XP there either). Where I do play, it's 100% like I see in top level tournaments where all the participants are just happy to play chess and view the outcome as the end of a game and nothing more.

I"m also older, and though I'm much less invested in gaming outcomes now than I was when I was young, I learned very early on that competing at a very high level in something involves as much Psychology as it does pure ability. One without the other is only going to get you halfway to success.

Rating is gone, along with fun
Now we're reaching for the gun
Changing cast, changing fast, no more tether

@CheerUpChess-Youtube - You're welcome!

@V1g1yy - Besides on mobile, there's another way to see all of a person's blog posts: Go to their profile:
@CheerUpChess-Youtube

Then click the blog posts at the top which leads to:
lichess.org/@/CheerUpChess-Youtube/blog

It was indeed the last one there, but at the time this topic was originally posted it was the only one so there wasn't any guesswork.

Lichess rating is just a number

I am not satisfied with my fide rating.
but I am satisfied with my lichess rating after all they don't count.

@PkGam , thanks. Yes, I did see it before I asked where to find it, I just didn't connect the blog title with the question in this thread. I was expecting to see a title that referenced ratings... I even opened the page, but the first paragraph didn't seem on-topic so I figured I was in the wrong place... No problemo, it's my first day on the internet. :D

I think it is a little too much according to my level
