What Elo is beginner
I'd say 1200 passes into the start intermediate, and 1600 passes into the high intermediate, and 2000 is expert.
Doesnt really matter. If you study the game more then you play, your rating will not be very accurate..
I think If you pass 1300 you can start considering yourself as a intermediate player.
Imo, 900 (in chess.com) is the bridge from the beginner to the intermediate player. In 900 above, all the player surely know about tactic and checkmating in every condition. But don't thinking too much about it, for being a profesional or the strong amateur player you shall pass 1800 and it required certain training and knowledge. Just play, dig, and have fun. There is no instant way, enjoy the process like you build your strength and body.
There are no set definitions. Most people will typically agree that a beginner becomes an intermediate when they cross over the 1200-1400 rating range.
I'd suggest 1400-2000 as being "Intermediate". 2000-2200 as being "expert" and 2200+ as "master-level".
You could split 1400-1600 as being a weaker intermediate, 1600-1800 as a typical intermediate and 1800-2000 as an 'advanced' intermediate. Again - no set definitions though, but I've saw similar phrasing being used here by others.
The term beginner, has nothing at all to do with strength. It has only to do with how much you've played/seen/learned/experienced.
Also, Elo in what? FIDE? ECF? USCF? Chess.com blitz? Chess.com rapid? Chess.com daily? You get my point. You can't just say Elo, like they're all the same. They're not even close...
Even if you had asked, how much chess experience does it take to no longer be considered a beginner, the answer is completely subjective. There would be no correct answer. This whole thread is just very silly.
Idk about beginner, but
GothamChess said a 1300 was a strong player.
That makes me happy

FYI, I believe the generally accepted terms for the higher rated players are as follows:
Expert - 2000-2199
Master - 2200+
GM - 2500+
Super GM 2700+
Beginner on the other hand, as I said before, is a term that has nothing to do with your rating. Look the word up, if you don't believe me. You could theoretically, for example, be an expert and a beginner at the same time.
I would say you stop being a beginner when you start to get familiar with your opening, you can attack using tactics and you know how to convert material advantage to wins.
This usually happens around 1000-1200 in rating.
im 600
i view myself as a beginner, 1200 is intermediate
1600 is club level
2000 is tournament level
2600+ is champian-ship level
Wow, these threads really are just a honey pot for the ignorant lol
