I'm not member of any chess club and I consider myself to be
a beginner.
Couple of days ago I ordered my first few books about chess.

However, I have a chess program Chessmaster 10th Edition and
I listened through some lectures and did a couple of drills
and also started playing against computer opponents.
I also study openings and currently I'm waiting for my book on
endgame because a lot of people told me that studying the
endgame first is the
way to go.
I'm familiar with the basics like forks, pins, skewers,
discovered attacks and understand a bit
about pawn structures, bad and good bishops etc.

At the moment I'm rated 1526 on Chessmaster.
I was wondering how realistic is that rating?

Play a few Games at GetClub Chess and see how you score over other
players. There are arround 100 players playing at GetClub Chess. If
your rank is above 50 then you are an Average player. If your rank is
in top 10, You are very good player.

Then you can play with Zebediah, Nomorechess & Taylor kingston, Bonsai
and see if you can beat 2100 Rated players.
