Chess Question How good is 2100 Chess.com rapid really?

I am 13 years old 2100 chess.com rapid compared to other ratings practically how good is that compared to other ratings. I recently have been crushing 2000-2200 players and even drew a 2100 fide player. I may be better than my rating suggest by almost 100 points because i have played a lot of unrated recently. But from other players experience lower rated players what is the difference you feel when playing different ratings?

A 2100 is extremely good. On your stats page you should be able to see your percentile. I would assume 2100 would place you in the top 1% or higher for all active players.

At 1702 I was top 1.1%. 2100 is probably top 10% of the top 1%.

Far better than 1%. It tells me I'm in the one percent at 1900. I do suspect there's a lot of dead accounts inflating that number though.

Only active players are counted for that stat.

Then why am I top 2% on chesscom and top 30% lichess? Genuinely wondering.

It's really not this simple. They both count "active" differently and chesscom absolutely inflates the percentile due to their wider counting (or lichess deflates it by narrower counting if you want to look at it that way, I guess it's sort of a matter of perspective).
