I would say it is “multiple ahead”

Although I'm no cognitive scientist, I feel it must be approximately exponential.

I'm basing that on hearing that chess players, from beginner to pro, become better based on the acquisition of "chunks". Presumably, to be able to defeat a player of a particular strength by a particular percentage, you need to acquire a set number of chunks.

Assuming there's some finite population of useful chunks, as you improve, there's a diminishing number of easy to find chunks you have not yet acquired. If you simplify this a lot, conceptually, it becomes similar to a radioactive decay curve, where each atom is a chunk. Such a curve is logarithmic, which means that the amount of time taken for a given amount of material to decay (or effort and time required to acquire more chunks) is exponential.

If these assumptions are true, then Elo rating is arguably exponential with respect to amount of time, work, or talent required.

on this, site, 2200 isn't good at all. they hang their pieces so often

On a scale from 100 to infinity I'd say they're about 2200. So 200 points higher than 2000.

2200 is pretty good… I’d say 2300+ on chess.com is elite

Mostly just hanging less pieces and taking them for free

Elo is irrelevant My dear friend It is rigged and opressive system where 99%+ are stuck at low ELo. Abolish ELO!

Bruh you are a coach and also even if you are 2777 elo doesn't mean 2200 elo isn't good. 2200 is like top 0.2% of players on chess.com

this site is full of bad bots who lose on purpose designed to make people feel better about themselves. go play otb against a 2200 and you'll see a big difference in skill level.

Your forgetting 2200s also get tunnel vision:/ it's why we aren't very good in the first place occasionally the tunnel vision is worse than 600s people are people that means we play bad sometimes
