Can chess rating go down?
Similarly, if you lose against someone with a lower rating, your rating will go down more than if you lost to someone with a higher rating. Numbers two and three on the list are a bit more complicated. It might sound strange, but confidence in the rating is the main reason for big changes in your rating after a game.

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.

Is 600 chess rating good?
A 600 rating is normal for someone who's had a little experience but is otherwise completely new. A real beginner rating is about 250. 650 shows significant progress beyond that. The average player on chess.com is about 960, I think.
