A rating between 1200-1400 puts you as a player who knows chess well, and in the decent category.

Furthermore, a rating of 1400-1600 puts you as a player with a good understanding of the game.

A rating of 1600-1800 indicates you as a strong player in the club level.

It depends what rating you are

To Magnus, decent is a GM

To me, it's any player who's fide rated

2400+

That's a complete exaggeration. A player with a 2400 rating (let's say on chess.com), is exceptional and is a really strong player, ranking him in the top 0.1% of chess players.

1200 is okay but 1300+ is better, I would say around 1300 is quite decent

I agree with your point.

Online such as here rating from 1500 is decent starting point, over the board play between 1700-1800 you have made a decent cut!!

I think 1500 is when people are annoyingly decent to play against
