how to get a FIDE rating in my country
Same process, FIDE is International
You can't get a fide rating of 679. You need a performance of at least 1200. You aren't listed at FIDE if you rating would be less than 1200. In this case your status remains unrated.
this is my understanding of how one gets a FIDE rating. The titled players here can expound upon this and clarify if my info is incorrect.
HOW TO GET FIDE CHESS RATING
Getting the fide chess rating is as easy as participating one fide recognized chess tournament. It sounds quite difficult at first. Maybe it is for those who are new to chess and who are unfortunately very unfortunate to beat at least one game against his fellow rated humans since winning a game against apes & unrated not counted.
The requirements for getting fide chess rating is as follows:
1. Play fide recognized tournament.
2. Complete minimum 9 games against fide rated players (game against unrated not counted) within a year.
3. Score at least 1 point from rated players.
If you fulfill the above requirements, your name will be published in the next fide rating list along with your rating. The list is published 6 times a year (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sept, Nov).
Rating 2500 above = Grandmasters (GM)
Rating 2400 above = International master (IM)
Rating 2300 above = Fide master (FM)
Rating 2200 above = National master (NM)
Rating 2000-2199 = Expert
Rating 1800-1999 = Class A
Rating 1600-1799 = Class B
Rating 1400-1599 = Class C
Rating 1200-1399 = Class D
Rating 1000-1199 = Class E
Rating 800-999 = Class F
Rating 600-799 = Class G
Suppose if you get your first published rating as 1654, then you are a class B player, not bad to start. If you get your rating as 679, I am sorry change your hobby, no offense. If you get your rating as 2000 above, wow!! your an expert. Put serious study, you may become a master one day. If you get your rating as 2014 and lose 16 points after that, your rating is now 1998. You temporarily stay as an expert and went back to class A which sometimes happen to both lucky/unlucky, both male/female.
Rating is an estimation of the player's strength based on his/her performance against other rated players. Depending on win/lose/draw, it increases/decreases.
