Rating Boundaries.

What ratings are beginner intermediate, advanced and master? Just asking if anyone knows.

I would say beginning of master usually around 2400 lichess blitz/bullet. Better to use comparative % when comparing USCF and FIDE to lichess. In USCF top 1.6% or so is 2200 USCF or higher so similar rating to percentile ratio is a decent rule of thumb. That makes FM level about 2600 lichess blitz/bullet btw

My local club has a "Beginner Open" which is up to 1200 USCF rating, which would translate to about 1700 lichess rapid. So I guess post that you could be called intermediate.

I could get USCF rated, but I don't see the point. It would be a very small sample of games in a small, isolated pool of players. And tournaments take a lot of time. They are better for professionals, retirees, and students on summer vacation.

I would say beginner somethin below 1500., intermediate roughly below 1800-1900 or so. Advanced roughly below 2200

Think its a totally subjective question, are there any recognised boundaries?

I guess something like - based on rankings

Beginners - bottom 20%

Novices = 20 -50 percentile

Intermediate = 50-80%

Advanced - 80 - 95%

Elite = the top 5%

Like I said totally subjective thats just my take on it

Well........

Based on the chess.com bots:
Beginner 250 - 700
Intermediate 1000-1300
Advanced 1500 - 2000
Master 2200 - 2300

BUT chess,com ratings are considered to be 300 lower than on this site;

However these bots do not play anything like their supposed rating.

Confused?

Me too.

chess.com definitely MUCH lower than this site. I am 2200 Rapid, 2000 Blitz on here. On chess.com I am around 1800 Rapid and 1550 Blitz.
But this is the better site. You can get analysis of every game you play for FREE and there are less cheaters.
