is 1200 good for a 14 year old who started this summer?
Sort:
right, i started playing chess for the first time in around 2022 (i only knew how to move the pieces that’s it) but june 2024 was when i started learning chess as a hobby. and i went from 400-1200 in about 2-3 months. is that good for just starting out?

Yes. It is very good progress. Keep it up.
There are some videos I've seen of people showing all the work they did to get across 1000, and it took them longer, so yeah 1200 is very good.
Yes, reaching a rating of 1200 in just a few months is quite impressive, especially considering you started with very little knowledge of the game.
