Use this test to get an estimate of your Elo rating !

I got 1200 from this. Noctie 3 tries gives me 800, 1800, 1600.

bad test

I don't understand my rating on chess.com is 550 but the raiting on this test is 1150

how is that possible

because the two arent connected, at all

chess.com rating is gotten by actually playing

this is gotten by some puzzles or something 

actual games are more accurate, and are no longer hard to come by thanks to the internet

Has this test been verified? That is, have the results on this test been compared with actual OTB ratings?

No souce whatsoever. Any random guy could have picked a few positions from a book and made some random calculations and ta-da, that's your rating. Absolutely useless.

Also puzzle ratings etc. are generally useless because the position is laid out for you, and you are told there's something you have to find. In a real game you will have to reach such positions by yourself.

I got a 1525 even tho my online rated is around 600

They are random Fischer games. If you guess all wrong, you get 1000. If you guess all right, you are Bobby Fischer.

Mine was 1915

I tried it and said score negative -100 elo. And by the way does anyone want to suck my hairy balls.

Wow - it gave me 1635 and I'm really happy with that! I'm probably no more than a 1200.
My moves for each position were as follows:-

1. c5 x d4
2. g2 - f1
3. c5 - c6
4. e5 - e6
5. e3 - b6
6. f2 - f4
7. d7 - c5
8. c8 - e8
9. e4 - b7
10. d4 - d5
Happy to provide my thinking on any of these, but I fully expect I've made some "not so good moves". Would be grateful for any input/thoughts.

My score was 1415, I have no clue if thats good for someone that been playing chess for just a few months. I started learning how to play chess last Jan 2023.

The thing about chess, as with many things in life, is that it's not purely a matter of chronological time passing.

You can cork a bottle of wine and say that in 30 years, it will be a vintage, and you don't need to do anything to it. Or, if you're trying to decide on the comparative value of two antiques, you might with confidence say that the older one is more valuable, all else being equal.

With the learning of a skill, however, it's not really a question of you doing it only for the last three months, it's more a question of what you have done in those last three months. Do you play every day? Against multiple opponents? Do you study openings, middle games and endgames, and patterns of play? Does anyone teach or train you? Were you a complete beginner before January, never having played before, or did you already have some knowledge of the game before you took it up "properly" in January?

All of these things make a difference. The results we get in anything will depend on both the number of hours we put in, and the quality of what we're doing in those hours.

If you started from scratch, and/or play very casually, maybe a few games a week, and/or spend no more than a few minutes on average per day reading/watching/learning about chess, then I think 1415 is a great rating. It might indicate a natural aptitude for chess, or it might simply mean that you got lucky on the test.

On the other hand, if you live, eat and breathe chess, and have been doing so for the last few months, then 1415 would be expected and is probably going to be considered low. As I say, it's about the number of hours you put in, and what you do in those hours, so someone playing/learning for 2 hours a day every day will have the same number of hours after a month as someone that maybe plays a couple of games a week for a year, for example.

Ultimately, if ratings encourage people to learn and improve, great, but at the same time I hope they do not discourage or disappoint if they are not as expected or hoped.

Keep up your journey and keep having fun!

lol
