Seconded. I happen to have quite a few friends who haven't played in rated
tournaments in years (so they have no current ELO/USCF/DWZ rating whatsoever),
yet still manage to play close to - and sometimes above - master strength.

I think if that happens for about a dozen people I know, how many of them can
you meet in a crowded club such as ICC? Don't take the equation
"unrated=beginner" for granted.
