Hello everybody, today i want to ask you guys a question. What is considered intermediate or not a beginner? i have been wondering this question since i started playing chess which is 11 months ago. i have always wanted to go out of the beginner play and be an intermediate. but the problem is i dont really know what rating is considered intermediate. i am confused because i have read many forums and most of them don't have a clear answer. within the forums i found that people tend to say 1200-1500 Elo is intermediate. now i really don't know if i should trust the forums or the chess.com ratings. because according to chess.com when you sign up for a new account, 1200-1600 Elo is intermediate. So guys please tell me which one is correct. also i want the answer in rapid elo. and the intermediate is just intermediate. not early intermediate. Thank you for reading and mind to leave an answer below. Thank you!

I dont know. I know that more people are better at chess today rhan they were 4 years ago. I know at 650ish, it says I'm better than 65% of people.

Don't get me wrong, I suck. I have some good knowledge through hard work, but I wouldn't say I'm a beginner. Advanced beginner at least? In my very unexperienced opinion, I think anything above 500 deserves at least a sub-class of beginner. 800 for sure, these days on chess.com, not a beginner.

Im 1200 on lichess

GothamChess says 1000+ is intermediate, 1500 early advanced and so on. If an IM says that I believe him more than any random user on here who says 1000 is still beginner (which it definitely isn't).

For me, personally, 1200 is considered Intermediate.
