Am I "intermediate"? - Chess.com rating syatem

Sort:
assgatito

I feel like I am intermediate now that I have gotten this rating and can now focus less on blunders than on play, targeting imbalences, and strategy. Is this point in a chess player's career reffered to as "intermediate?"

I also feel that I play better than my rating and have upset a 2100 in rated rapid and play more blitz than rapid.

Not an exact science, but based on various training materials I have seen and the intended audiences as mentioned by the authors, I would say …

< 1100 FIDE rating (OTB, not online) = beginner;

1100-1900 FIDE rating = “club player” or “post-beginner”;

1900-2400 FIDE rating = “intermediate player”; and

>2400 FIDE rating = “a fairly decent chess player”
