Sure he can give a FIDE rating. It just might not be recognized by anyone.

what program is that?
How in the world did white's black bishop even get there??

I guess the OP put it there.
Got a few questions for you buddy. Since Black has 2 dark square Bishops, and White has 6 Pawns remaining, how did he get a passed Pawn to under promote?
And
How did those Bishops get back to the other side of the board without being captured?

Those things could happen in a real game, but it's more probable that the OP simply made up the position. (Hint: His profile states he has a 905 USCF rating.)
Now that I looked at the position for a minute, I can't see how this can be a legal position (retrograde). So it had to be made up, I think.
Hahaha.
Haha
Ha.
NO. STOP.

The answer is...... 4?
And the answer is... It was a blitz game and Black played ...Be8f8, and White claimed illegal move and the win. 
yup I made the position up.

Easy one :

chesskingdreamer is correct. It's an easy win for Black.
