I have heard people telling to play the Catalan circuit to increase ratings, is gaining rating easy in spain?
Is gaining rating easy in some countries?
Sort:
It just means Bangladesh doesnt have many strong players as India does. Gaining rating isnt influenced by this.

exactly
There are regions in the world where more people are too high rated and regions where more people are low rated. As long as players of these regions do not play each other, the discrepancy remains. When they do interact, the ratings level off.
There are also tournament organisers who invite elder grandmasters and masters in norm tournaments to allow young players to score master and grandmaster norms.
#6 thats a great point, I overlooked that. Is it something like you can be an A student, best in your generation, in one school, but if you move to another your grade drops to B even tho your knowledge hasnt changed. Its simply not enough because competition got stronger. I mean 1900 rated player should be the same in every country? Is Russian FM better than German FM?
Im surprised a 2000 rated player doesnt know that your country does not affect how much rating u gain

Of course! I'm not a 2000 because I don't want.
I get rash on my skin when I read/hear words Im not something because I dont want when we all know its not true. Or even worse if I havent stopped playing I would be there, I can be a GM only if I want to.

Of course the country affects the rating gain.
Whenever the pools are disjunct, i.e. players from a country rarely play players from another country, one country will be overrated and the other underrated.
Whenever then players from those countries play against each other, the player from the overrated country is likely to lose rating to the player from the underrated country.

How can he be wrong?
Ratings are NOT handed down by God. They are calculated, based on your results against the particular pool of players that you've been playing rated games against.
If players from (for example) Canada competed only in local tournaments, and played rated games ONLY against other Canadian players, then of course their ratings would only have meaning when compared to the ratings of other Canadian players.
As an analogy: the level of water in a lake will be the same everywhere within that lake, but it can be completely different from the level of water in a different lake. Only if the two lakes are connected and exchange water with each other will the levels in both lakes equilibriate.
For example, In Bangladesh, 1900s come in top 100. But for India it is 2300.
