Hi chess.com!

I am quite new here ( joined on 11 July ) and would just like to ask your views about the rating range. How would you know if a person is a beginner, intermediate and advanced chess player? What I mean is, is that what rating range you would group them in...

Eg. Beginner: <1000, Intermediate: >1000-<1300, Advanced: >1300-<2000 (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE)

Many Thanks! - chessbot7

Beginners are those that have a lower rating than yourself.

I would say: Beginners are <1200. Intermediate 1200-1800. Advanced 1800+
