what rating is a beginner?
Sort:
hi community,
I began playing chess alittle over 4 months ago .
I request help under beginner tab every now and then and now that I have reached 1700 ELO I don't seem to get anything or sometimes i see mostly low elo players around 1000 engaging under that tab, is there any other tab I could use for my rating?
I'm honestly confused because some here think over 1500 is intermediate but i litteraly am a beginner, considering I'm only playing chess for 4 months .
I'd appreciate any help to get things straight and ofcourse any tips to help me reach 1800 is appreciated.

Look at the percentile for Rapid 30 minutes and you will get a wake up call. F.ex players with a Rapid 1000 rating chess.com is at the 80th percentile. An average player on chess.com (nowhere else) is about 450 Rapid.
I don't fully get what you mean, the average is that low because millions probably made accounts and never continued playing
hello
1700 in 4 months is insane, you have crazy work ethic and talent
I think economics of their condition determine their rating. Because they can invest on books and coaching
@medelpad thank you , I don't think I'm good at all I just played few otb games and despite crushing the opponent every time I would barely win and lose some . Long way ahead of me and I'm hoping I can find a way to fill the gaps

It plays a role but not the way you say it, simply for some it will be harder because of some other responsibilities and that’s life, life isn’t fair.

No, that's not how the Glicko rating system works. You are not ready to learn about theoretical matters yet, so I will let you mature on things.
