FIDE rapid rating

Sort:
Avatar of JamesAgadir

I am going to participate in a tournament that I believe is FIDE rated. There are five people with rapid ratings and the rest are unrated. I have a slow chess rating and nothing else. What are the conditions to get a FIDE rapid rating ?

Do I have to play all of them ?

If I'm not wrong, you have to play 5 rated players, and win at least 1 of them.

Thanks. I was wondering of the rules differed in between slow and rapid

Back in 2014, in order for one to have a standard rating, one has to play a minimum of 9 games against rated players. That may have been changed now and the number of played games reduced to 5 as well. Have to do a research on that ✌🏻😅

Thanks for the information. The tournament ended up not being registered. If not I could have had a rating because I got 1/6 out of rated players (I played twice each player : two 1700 rated and one 2000)
