Question about getting a FIDE Rating

Sort:
Avatar of Zycirline

So I recently played in a four round FIDE rated tournament. I won two (as black) and lost two (as white). Three were FIDE rated, 1400 (win), 1800 (win), 2310 (loss) and my other loss was to an opponent who was not FIDE rated.

The tournament has been rated already (by that I mean I can see my post event rating) but when I click on my FIDE profile it says that I'm still "unrated".

I don't think my performance was bad (I mean, my post event uscf rating didn't change at all). And I do have some fide rated games - the many losses were from the 2021 chicago open (I performed 2/7)

So at this point I'm not sure why I can't see my FIDE rating. Does it update later or something?

How did you win 2 with black and lose with white lol.

Regarding your question, I guess you just have to wait for FIDE to update it, or maybe you need to play more FIDE rated games for you to receive a rating.

im not sure, but i think you need like 20 games to get an official rating

Possibly this ?
“Matches in which one player is unrated shall not be rated.”

In the Chicago Open, how many of those games did you play against rated opponents? 
You need 7 total, which if you do means you just have to wait until the end of the month + the start of August until Fide releases their new rating list

I won with black because I was better than them

I lost with white because one of them was an IM (I was clapping him but lost) and the other one I lost because I was too busy focusing on running his time down (I know bad idea)

Four of them, apparently (I'm just looking at the screenshot I posted and subtracting three from the total number of games lol)

So I guess I'm waiting until the end of the month. Thanks for the answer

I only read about two pages and didn't see that

In that case, though, it means a new player will never be FIDE rated. Since he is unrated.

From https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/B022022

7.1 On the first day of each month, FIDE shall prepare a list which incorporates all rated play during the rating period into the previous list. This shall be done using the rating system formula.

and

7.1.4 A rating for a player new to the list shall be published when it is based on 5 games against rated opponents. This need not be met in one tournament. Results from other tournaments played within consecutive rating periods of not more than 26 months are pooled to obtain the initial rating. The rating must be at least 1000.

You don't have enough games to get rated.

I have seven rated games, and I don't think the combined performance is bad enough to be below 1000, so I guess I'm waiting until the end of the month

I missed that in your screenshot and edited.

You probably beat unrated fide people at Chicago which gives you a rating of <1000. Games against unrated fide people do not count which is why you didn't get the fide rating at Chicago. Since fide rates events monthly I believe you have qualified for a fide rating from this event so just wait till the end of the month.

no i just think there was only four rated fide people at chicago

People used to say you need to play 20 FIDE Rated games to get a rating, but I somehow got it after only about 10 games

The rules change occasionally. Currentlly is 5 games against players with ratings.
