Am I a strong player?

That means even I should be considered strong...

Thank you for your opinion Dr Zaitzev.

Thanks for reminding. Just in case you were unsure, that there was fun to be had in playing chess, your rating has has assured you levels of title.
I'm afraid I only players with a bullet rating of 1906 and a blitz rating of 1916 are strong players.

My friend once met a chess player and then asked him if he was strong, yes replied "a little"..

then we found out that he is rated more than 2500 FIDE,which is why i believe that if your not some sort of master, then you are not strong :P
Well, technically Morphy was not a master of any kind and yet, I think he was strong...a lot.
I gather from this thread a simple truth: That the meaning we find in words is dependent on our own lives and experiences.

A player rated 900 would call 1500 strong, a player rated 2300 will call 2600 strong.

We are thinking of what is strong *relative to us*, and that is how all language and concept formation works in the end.

Unless you're of the non-school of thought dubbed "Objectivism", or still believe that "the word is God".
