I would say 1500 is intermediate. Maybe 2000+ is advanced. Just my opinion.
Super advanced. I bet you know the lucena position and everything.

A 1500 player is someone who know's what they're doing.
I would consider myself a 1600 player in rapid, and I find that if I have an off day I will lose to a 1500.

Chill. 1500 is not that bad. Even players above 1800 loses to 1500 sometimes. It's because we are all humans and performance may vary but what I've noticed is generally the main difference is that 1500 rated players are not consistent in performing their best all the time. They can be really good at their peak but most of the time they are not at their peak. So, you must improve your consistency of performance. Although I myself am not THAT consistent, but I guess it’s because of my tactical vision /pattern recognition helps me a lot in a bad day.

Even adding 1000 rating points wouldn't put it close to world champion level, so how can you possibly ask if 1500 is advanced.
1500 is as far away from advanced as it is from 500.

You don't make 1 ply blunders very often, so you may even play a whole game without one, but you don't know what you're doing yet. You can't connect an opening to a mid game plan, or string together a series of moves by a single logical thread. You have to be about 1600 blitz (or 1600 OTB) before that begins to happen. Before that level, the frequency of tactical blunders obscure your view of the thread.
Of course even beginners can make a plan, but it will change from one move to the next, so I don't count that.

You're not 1500. Daily ratings are silly.

I would agree with you for the most part, your analysis of my playing was apt. However, what I meant by "know's what they're doing" is that they know how to play chess. I would say a 1500 is a solid chess player.
I also know that blitz is the hardest rating pool. However I personally use blitz to mess around and try outrageous attacks.
