What Elo is beginner

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!

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

Sometimes I play like a grandmaster, but other times, some players checkmate my King in the third move....🥺

1000-1400s is a beginner range

You sound like you don't know what "beginner" means.

A 1000-rated player would beat a real beginner 10-0, and none of the games would be competitive.
