Chess ratings and USCF class structure

I often hear chess players referred to as "Class A" players, "experts," and "masters," but (I'm ashamed to admit that until now) I didn't know what actually made one an expert or master. Thanks to Google, now I do:

USCF class structure
Elo Range USCF Class
2400– Senior Master
2200–2399 Master
2000–2199 Expert
1800–1999 Class A
1600–1799 Class B
1400–1599 Class C
1200–1399 Class D
1000–1199 Class E
