I've played chess plenty of times. Against my parents growing up, against friends, computers, etc. Probably played 50 games of chess in my life. Compared to none at all, that's a lot. But I've never actually studied the game. I don't know any theory, haven't memorized any openings, etc. I have no idea what my rating would be, but I'm sure it'd be low. I expect there are plenty of similar people out there, who "play" chess, meaning they have done so on occasion, but are not in any way students of the game.
