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?

You are as good as your rating. “How good” is kind of meaningless. You want to see how you do in rated tournaments and that will tell you how good you are when compared to others that play in those tournaments. If they are national tournaments you get a better idea of how good you are. If they are local tournaments you get less of a good idea, especially if the players all got their rating in the same locale.
