What Elo is beginner

why do so many people ask these types of questions, just play the game regardless of your ability

Because many people like to have a distinct, obvious and external measure to the question "am I better than before?". That's  why things like achievements, gamification and belt systems in martial arts work; while some can enjoy an activity in itself and don't need any motivation, others can need some motivation and encouragement. And since most beginners are playing online now instead of a club or at school, they can't really use the good old "I win more and lose less against my friend".

9 days ago I was 400 elo.

10 days ago I was 400 elo, now I am at 800. I met my goal!

1000 would be the elo, i think

12

I expect he meant 'I'm 600', not 'I'm an IM'. People from Malta don't necessarily speak English.

I'm going to vote that beginner is under 500.

That's an official otb tournament rating.  Just disregard online ratings.

i am a beginner

Definitely

i joined a month ago

I have a trash profile picture

My Elo peaked at 1114 and then dropped all the way to 600. 

My Elo is only 760.

I think less than 1100, personally I think that by now you already know some theories and it's up to each one to play with their criteria in the middle of the game

0-600 beginner 600-1000 casual/advanced beginner 1000-1300 learning the ropes 1300-1600 intermediate 1600-1800 intermediate grade 2 1800-2000 advanced 2000-2200 expert 2200+ master or candidate master+

Don't stop now, in another year, you'll be 256,000!

Beginners don’t get elo, they just get rating XD

Clearly, im a GM

No one gets an Elo rating from chess.com. You get a Glicko rating.

Everyone has their own definition of a beginner.

My definition: a player is a beginner as long as he does beginner things.

Sometimes I can find good tactical combinations, but more often I can’t see a trivial pin or discovery; sometimes I can play with good accuracy an endgame, but in one in three games I gift a piece. So, I definitely am a beginner. I’ll consider myself ad intermediate when I stop making these stupid mistakes.

Rating online says little, even because it varies a lot from server to server ( here I have 1050, in another 1600 ). It’s a push to improve, a measure of your progress.

Hi! I copy below a scale by Coach M. Jensen, considering FIDE ELO (or Chess.com Blitz rating):
<800    Novice
800-1099    Beginner
1100-1399    Intermediate
1400-1699    Intermediate 2
1700-1999    Advanced
2000+    Expert

I'm a Chess.com Coach too and I use this scale as a guideline for my students.

Good luck!
