Till which rating are you considered a beginner?

I think rating is a bad way to categorize beginners vs more experienced players. I've known players that played for years in a local chess club never going above the 1000's in rating. They just keep blundering their pieces. Are they really still beginners though? Also, are you really a beginner at 1000 when you can literally crush almost anyone that has not played in a chess club or online, let alone a true beginner that just learned the rules? I don't know, seems like a bad term to use. 

I'd group real beginners as the people that just learned the rules, that are not yet so aware of how all the pieces move and that play openings like 1. h4, 2. Rh3 etc. Beyond this group there is a big group of people were chess is a game of making less blunders (or the second to last blunder) than your opponent. I'd group that to, say, 1400-1500ish. After that I'd feel it's about 'intermediate' level and upwards. 

Hi, if you go to the "challenge bot" page, you can choose a personalized one (it is the last bot you see) and choose its rating. Here there are the ranks for every scoring range: for example the game consider you are a beginner until you reach 1000 elo. To the community, I honestly don't know, but I guess you can be considered an advanced player from 800/900 elo
