Often I just tell them my USCF rating. They still might not understand what that means, but that's their problem; I've answered their question.
Wadda you think, is that too simple, too direct? 😉
I realize the problems a casual player might have understanding what kind of a can of worms his question opens, but I simply can't bring myself to say I'm good. when I know I'm obviously not. and that fact doesn't really change even if he thinks I'm full of it.

5 July 1982. So I am not sure if I am that good or not.

Will that prove "how good I am" or "how bad I am"?
Just to clarify, Its my hypothesis that it won't tell us how good "you" are at all.
