What Elo is beginner
<800 Novice
800-1099 Beginner
Those two words literally have exactly the same meaning, so that's just nonsense.
<800 Novice
800-1099 Beginner
Those two words literally have exactly the same meaning, so that's just nonsense.
What is nonsense is being called a "beginner" for 20 years. Unless "beginner" is a polite term for "numbskull" or some such.
100-800 is novice, 800-1300 is beginner, 1300-1700 is intermediate, 1700-2200 is candidate and master, 2200-2500 is IM, 2500-2700 is GM... 2900 SUPERGM?
3000+ is super-duper-GM
I have been playing chess for 9 yrs but my rating is still 1167 as I have played rating tournaments very rarely.Am I a noob

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!
