Can a human reach 3000 chess rating?

It depends on the pool. If there are more idiots joining FIDE in the coming years, Carlsen as well as others may reach the 3000 mark. If there are more little Carlsens, little Svidlers, and little Anands joining FIDE, then it will be difficult for Magnus Carlsen to reach 3000 (or even maintain his existing rating).

Is 1200 a good chess rating for a 14 year old?
Beginners are welcome, 1300 is more than enough. The best 16 year olds are at least master strength already. A competitive rating for a national under 16 tourney would be around class A to expert, lets say 1700-2100. You're not going to win the whole thing but you'll be in the pack somewhere.
