Since 1500 is gonna be in the top 4% I think that your idea of "average" is somewhat inaccurate

1500 was the average when Arpad Elo designed the system. He did not account for the massive influx of beginners who have dropped the ratings on this site hundreds of points.

I think a good beginner rating would be about 300 - 600 ELO because they have to learn more about the game and the tactics used to win

The "intermediate" bots on chess.com start at 1000 rated.

Therefore on this site it would seem that "beginner" means under 1000. Whether these ratings are accurate is another question entirely.

According to chess.com beginner range is between 800-1200
