Being perfect at chess

That's a very generous guess - far less than 1 in 10 people who know the rules of chess play at a 1300 level. Out of a random sample of 100 people who know the rules of chess, I'd be surprised if more than 2-3 could hold a 1300 rating, and even that might be a bit much.

This is the problem of all of us on this site. We are all playing to increase our strength. Our main hobby isn't chess, but rating graph. We are too hard on ourselves and it's easy to forget that chess is fantastic game even if we aren't grandmasters. Here you c ...[text shortened]... antly try to improve, so standards are obviously much higher here. We aren't THAT bad!

Statistically speaking the numbers are far lower than that.

US pop = 300 million
USCF membership = about 70 thousand
= 1 in every 4286 people is a USCF member.
And of those, according to the USCF ratings distribution
1300 is 67% meaning

1 in every 3 USCF players is 1300 or above
This means 1 in 12858 people is 1300 or above

and I think it can be safely assumed that non-uscf members are unlikely to be 1300.
