According to https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/2550/what-are-the-... median rating is 1148 (252,989 Players). So it's beating half of humanity at a mind sport and it wasn't even specifically trained for it.

That's USCF ratings, chess.com ratings are massively inflated in comparison.

The median chess player is usually described as mediocre (if you ask chess players). They suck as badly as the median clarinet player in your high school band/orchestra.

There's a difference between chess.com and USCF ratings.
