Not all USCF rated events are also rated by FIDE. In fact, fairly few of them are. So you can have a USCF rating and still not be rated by FIDE. In practice, when people have FIDE and USCF ratings, the FIDE rating us usually a bit lower
Well I know uscf tournaments are not fide rated but basically im asking if you're 2300 uscf would you also be 2300 fide. But my guess is that a fide rating would be much lower than your uscf rating.
What is the difference? I mean I know the uscf is only for the united states but do you get a new rating for a fide rating and if you are 2300 uscf are you also 2300 fide or is it lower fide since im thinking once you get a fide rating its because you're playing international and tougher opponents
