Why do you need to know why he asked the question?


From looking at http://www.echecs.asso.fr it looks like they may just use FIDE ratings.

nine million chess players here and not a single helpful comment. lolz
say the dude who just open today and went straight to the cheating forum.

France national rating is like fide rating (start at 1000), but more 'volatil', and is used when a player don't have a fide rating yet. It was largely used 10 or 20 years ago when only >2000 or >2200 players were fide rated, but now the majority of tournament players get a fide rating. And we have a rapid rating who is largely used.
What is it?
