What rating is considered intermediate?

The official definition might be 1200-1599, but I would consider intermediate rating to be 1400-1600. In my OTB experience, anybody under 1400 is still learning the more advanced fundamentals of chess. Anybody above 1600 seems to be playing with limited mistakes.

Well, you do say "the more advanced fundamentals". That can very well be intermediate level.

I meant that the player is still learning but hasn't learned the advanced fundamentals or endgames such as the Philidor Position.
