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.

Ratings only can help you compare yourself to a pool. I could easily imagine that there exists stronger pools of players playing OTB than playing CC on the intenet, so you would imagine that a 1500 rated OTB playerwould be strongerthan a 1500 CC player

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.

Ratings are pointless. All that matters is the game! Play chess, love chess, leave the ego in the closet!

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?


Couldn't find one so here is 12 such players under 1420;

835447 Durante, Corrado  ITA140101947M 
 1144731 Somerski, Wojciech  POL140301989M

 743011 Domonkos, David  HUN140301992M 
 5063787 Muralidharan.k  IND14070 M 
 2210975 Bratu, Roxana  ESP140801992M 
 5104432 Rendon Hidalgo, Vicente  MEX1410-9.5 M 
 2212218 Fernandez Regodesebes, Ruben  ESP141001995M

 1908650 Mendes, Ana Luisa Gomes  POR141101991F 
 1135970 Fleiszerowicz, Leopold  POL14155.51932M

 

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.

Thanks magicmunky , I found that they had lowered it to 1400 recently but I am correct that there are no published fide ratings under 1400, is that correct?

It doesnt matter. 99 percent if the players uses stockfish. So you can not know your rating.
