Can someone provide an estimate of what my FIDE rating could be?

If you've never played OTB you have to get used to it first... so maybe below 1800.

But if that happened, it'd go up pretty quickly after you started playing regularly.

Update: I used to OTB tournaments ( Non FIDE rated) 4 years back. 

My best score were draw against 2100 FIDE, draw against 1980 FIDE, win against 1800 and few 1700s. 

But during that time I also used to draw, lose few games against 1400 and 1500s.

So I am not sure. I have improved my game play since then.

The problem is double.

First, one needs to convert a Rapid rating into a slow one, which varies depending on individuals.

Then, one has to convert chess.com rating to FIDE ratings, which proves complicated.

I used to think, ratings on chess.com were over estimated by about 200 Elo points, but now, when you look at the chess.com ratings of titled players, it doesn't add up.

One thing is sure only, one can hardly hope to get a FIDE rating much netter than the chess.com Rapid ratings they use to have.

I believe that chess.com rapid rating is atleast 400 points higher than FIDE. 

Somehow all online calculators using chess.com and lichess ratings and chess rating calculators by solving positions are giving me 1900-2000 rating. 


And the fact that I haven't played any OTB tournament in past 4 years but have been studying chess makes me wonder.

You believe whatever you want, in my case it's not true, and like I said, when you consider the ratings of titled players, what you believe is utterly false.

What is your FIDE rating?

I think 1400 is your FIDE rating

Based on https://chessgoals.com/rating-comparison/

Chess.com rapid 2109 ~ 2100 FIDE
Chess.com blitz 1900 ~ 1870 FIDE
Lichess rapid 2300 ~ 2280 FIDE
Lichess blitz 2100 ~ 2000 FIDE

If we average those out, you'd be approximately 2062 FIDE if you played enough games to get to your actual level. Of course this is not a direct apples to apples comparison, so it could vary probably 100-150 points to either direction (probably down, since you aren't experienced with OTB chess). It might take you a while to get to that level OTB, but if you kept playing tournaments you would most likely reach 2000 FIDE eventually maintaining your current skill level. Maybe go even higher, especially if you continue to improve your game.

Could very well be like 1700 if your best scores are like that. I'm 1900 and have won against multiple 2100s and drew FMs. I know a guy who is 1500 and drew a 2150.
