Ranking Ratings

Age has very little to do with it, its all your own skill at the game. I perfer to say, "he who sees the most, wins the most." A good rating for Bobby Fischer at 15 might have been 2000+ I dont know for sure, but it all depends on how good you are at the game.
There are 15 year old experts and many many 15 year old well lets just say not so goods.
So how good do you feel? Like 1200 1300 1400 more or less? Keep playing to find out where you really stack up against the crowd. Chess is fun to play, so dont take too much into the ratings game.
