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
This is nice
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
