ratings not fair

dont take ratings too serious its just an number you can play like a chessmaster and have 001 of rating and you can play like a baby and have 1 000 000 000.
dont take that too seriously. Capablanca says you must lose 100 games to win 1.

I dont think fide ratings go that low. Please tell me a player with 1200 or less fide rating? I think fide only publishes 1600 and up?
they publish even unrated players.

Give me a name of any player rated under 1400 (seems it has recently been lowered to 1400 in fact) that is published/listed on any fide list of ratings......I have not found any. The fide cutoff used to be 2000 if I am not mistaken and they keep lowering it.

To achieve a FIDE rating, you need to play in an official FIDE rated event, and play at least 9 games with opponents with an official FIDE rating. The performance in these games, must be at least 1600 since that's what the lowest possible FIDE rating is. If you play in a 9 rounds tournament and all your opponents have an official FIDE rating, and if you at the same time score a performance of above 1600, one "FIDE norm" is enough to receive a rating at the next list. If not 9 rated opponents,you need two norms, and at least 3 games with FIDE rated opponents, and a performance above 1600. Still you will have to play a total of 9 games to get the official FIDE rating.
Can you give me a name of any player under 1600 fide so I can look on fide.com for such a rating?

I almost entered a tournament in Coulsden called "Get a FIDE rating" with 10 games in a week, they stated as long as you won at least one game and scored above 1401 you would be listed.

There are no sub 1401 rated players, because they don't publish players that low Talfan.
