What is the highest rating I can get?

Avatar of shine5

My current standard chess rating here is 1695. I am improving so I think I can get to 1800 in a couple of months. The question is what will be the highest fide standard chess rating I can get? Can I get past 1800 in fide? I only played five or six games in a fide rated tournament couple years back when I was a novice to chess so that my fide standard rating is 1090. But I am way better than that now thanks to chess.com and all those wonderful chess books.

I know I am working hard and I am improving. I asked if anyone here could tell what will be my fide rating according to my standard rating here. If you dont know that why bother posting a reply that doesnt help?

The problem is your quesiton is flawed and has no reasonable answer.

Yes there is no absolute answer to that. And I didn't ask for an absolute answer. I just asked your opinion. Thats all.

You know it depends on the number of games you play.If you want higher rating,you should work harder and play more fide rated games.

Okie, to be safe, I will go with 900. Would hate to get your hopes up for much more.

Most people don't even make it to 1800, never mind past it.  Each jump in class becomes that much more difficult.  One of the Polgar sisters wrote about how difficult it was to get much past 1800 in particular (I think it was Susan).  Up to then you can pretty much play safe positional chess content in the knowledge that your opponent will eventually make an error that you can take advantage of.  It may not be an outright blunder, maybe just a positional concession of some sort.  Plans are relatively easy to make against such opponents.  Around 1800 you see a different breed of opponent, someone who doesn't give you weaknesses to work with; you have to create them.  At that point you need to begin playing real chess, and frankly, most of us simply aren't up to the task.  Good luck.

My goal is 1800 fide rating. And I think that isn't far from possible. I'm going to play frequently on fide tournaments from now on. Thank for your reply.

I'd say that if you are determined and can work hard enough, you should be able to reach 2000. Play some tournaments, analyze your games thoroughly yourself and study master games. Good Luck!

Your first post sounded like you were asking what your potential as a player is. I.e. what is the maximum rating you could have in the future.

Standard chess.com rating is odd, because the dumped a lot of points into it a while ago. Your FIDE equivalent might be as low as 1200, who knows. It's really not possible for strangers to estimate your G/90 performance vs tournament players by looking at your G/30 performance against a mix of casual and tournament players. Both the time control and type of opponent are different.

It's been done.  Remember that "small step for man" etc. ?  That was a jump to the moon.

Actually, if you want to be technical, they fell to the moon.

according to Hoyle if you pick any number from 1000 to 2700 divide by 10 and add 1000 and multiply by 2 the result is the highest rating you may attain
