^^ Still got beginner wrong! It's someone who just began, so they can't play at all! 
A novice or noob is someone who's been playing a short time but at least knows a little. The idea that 1600's advanced is worse than the idea a 1700 is one!
What rating range is classified as intermediate???
Sort:

800-1200: decent beginner, or if you're a long time player get gud
1200-1600: improver, if you've been there a while it's time to learn positional chess and get gud
1600-2000: getting gud
2000-2400: gud
2400+: very gud
A beginner is someone who just started playing. Only on a chess site could this happen!

my grandfather plays every week with his friends and plays since he was a child. i am rated 1000 in blitz and beat him more times than he beats me so i will tell him that he is a beginner
Nevertheless Intermediate-range could comprise different levels, such as Low Intermediate (maybe 1300-1500), and High Intermediate (perhaps 1500-1700)...the British GM Graham Burgess once stated that "strong club players" usually began at 1800 or so...
Certainly the "strong club players" would begin at 1800-1900, but anything higher than that and one enters Titled territory, right? Name-level (Expert/Master/Grandmaster)...
Intermediate = like me
Strong = stronger than me
Weak = weaker than me
I reckon 1,200-1,450 then 1,450,1750 is Intermidate to advance 1750+ advanced

<1500 - complete beginner
1500-2000 - beginner
2000 - 2500 - experienced beginner(amatuer)
>2500 - getting good.
I feel even if you're between 1000-1200 but have been playing for more than a year and willing to put a little more efforts and consistency you are already entering an intermediate level where you get to learn more intricacies of the game and learn a couple of openings thoroughly from each colour.
Ratings will fluctuate and what matters is if you understand how developing a plan or idea works along with decreasing the frequency of one move blunders or one move threats and see your rating improve, I've been playing since 3 years and I play unrated games more and on a good day I can beat 1500s in rapid but at the same time I lack depth in my ideas still so I'm working on them,good luck to everyone on their chess journey ♟️

There are people who are under 1500s who have defeated titled players...

This just brings to mind even a busted watch is right twice a day....but it does give me hope 
.
50th percentile. I hope that helps.
Intermediate I think is 1400-2000
Intermediate is about 1500 to 1700 FIDE, or obviously higher with Chess.com ratings.
What people don't understand is that Chess.com bears no relationship to real chess, played between clubs, counties, in otb tournaments and so on. An expert is designated maybe 1950 to 2200 FIDE, maybe you could call 1850 to 1950 an advanced player and a little bit lower, "strong club player".
Intermediate is the gap between sort of "improving player" and "strong club strength".
