1400 am I still a beginner?


Yes and no. Compared to a 1000 you're an expert and compared to a 2000 you're still a beginner.
Congrats on reaching 1400.

That reminds me of this thread of a 1200 blitz, 1400 rapid player VladimirHerceg91 https://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/the-curious-case-of-1200-the-expert-s-rating?page=1

Rating is all relational, but I wouldn't consider you a "beginner" - perhaps "learning" like the rest of us, but I'd say 1400 is more intermediate player level. This rating on chess.com certainly knows a few basic checkmates, theoretical endgames and is for the most part past opening principles and hanging pieces.
In the tougher rating pools, then sure 1400 might be lower, but for the rating pool of ALL chess players, then 1400 is actually above average - tough to consider above the 50 percentile a "beginner"
Congrats. Beginner is a relative - since everybody starts with a different skill level, when starting to play chess. Some people more or less immediately beat 1800s in longer time formats (once they've learned the rules). The same people will probably lose a lot in the quick / flagging / trickery - type of games. I don't know what the base skill level of the average player is, but I'd guess that it's below 1400 rapid.

1400 is around the 95th percentile on this website. Fewer than one in twenty players here reach 1500. No one is claiming that this is approaching mastery, but I think that's setting the bar for beginner extraordinarily high.

Nope carslen didn't invented chess.
Magnus Carlsen invented chess.
Bruh ask anyone
