Trying to figure out my FIDE rating

Sort:
elliotg2003

I have recently gotten back into chess and was hoping to enter a local tournament.  I have no idea what my rating approximate ELO/USCF rating would be.  Could someone take a look a couple of my most recent "Rapid" games and tell me what they think?  This doesn't need to be a exact number just a general ballpark.  I very bad at blitz as I am a slower player so I would really like it based off my rapid games. Thanks!!

Based on this last one, your standard / rapid rating of 1670 would correlate with a USCF OTB rating of 1570.

Plus or minus about 250 points.

 Based on review of a few games, I would say 1400 USCF as an upper limit.  My estimate isn't worth much, I only looked at a few games, but a rapid rating here based on 20 something games isn't worth that much either.  Some pretty elementary blunders in your last loss were a strong influence on me -- just wouldn't expect to see those with a 30 minute time control in a 1570 player as suggested above.  But I did look at a couple other games as well.  I believe FIDE ratings are about 100 points lower give or take, so 1300 FIDE would be my guesstimate.  Most people should error on the low side for your first tournament, because human nature being what it is, going 0-4 could prevent many from going to a second tournament.  With that in mind, I'd say shoot for an under 1200 bracket, and there would be no shame in an under 1000 bracket for your very first tournament.

Stop with conversions and comparisons... GO, PLAY in FIDE tournaments... get a fide rating and guess what.. THAT is your fide rating!

 

Thanks for not reading and just replying anyways. I wanted ed to know my approximate rating so I enter the right tournament for my ability so I can have a rating.

Thanks!! Super helpful. I entered into a U1200 tournament and it went pretty well. Appreciate you taking a look at my games.
