Chess rating percentile

Sort:
Koridai

When I look at the percentile, In chess.com blitz there are an equal amount of players between 0 and 600 rating as there are players between 600 and 3300 elo.  Does that mean that getting from 0 to 600 rating on chess.com takes the same amount of time as from 600 to 3300?

No, it is much easier to get to 600 blitz as you can just watch some videos and do a couple of puzzles and reach 600 (if you do more puzzles and watch more videos, you can go higher)

It just means there a lot more casual players who play. for fun rather than improvement than serious players with higher ratings.
