Initial rating

Sort:

Can someone explain how can I calculate my initial rating. There are 2 more rounds to the end of the tournament and since all my games will be with rated players I expect to gain rating. I was told that I must play 9 rated games and I will gain rating. I have rating performance 2194 so will that be my initial rating or it's calculating somehow different?

According to this ratign will be same as rating performance on the tournament. But I was told that it isn't the same. So probably I was told wrong :-) . thanks

The initial rating on chess.com is not performance based. Everyone starts at 1200 unless they have a title. This goes against what the Glicko and Elo rating systems dictate.

The initial rating should be the average performance of the first four games, not some fixed number.


I don't talk about chess.com rating, i'm asking for real Elo rating. The tournament finished, and I have RP 2154, now I'm waiting for FIDE to calculate my rating. I hope that it will be like Rating performance.

If it turns out to be 2154 then you are almost in the top 100 men, or top five women, of Bosnia-Herzegovina after your first tournament.

I am guessing there must not be many FIDE sanctioned tournaments you could get to or afford before this one.

There are not many FIDE tournaments in BiH, this one I played in Zadar (Croatia).

Congratulations on your performance.

FIDE will publish your rating after nine games against FIDE-rated opponents, at least one of which must be a win for you.  If you meet those criteria, it should be on the next list.  If one is missing, they won't publish your rating until you achieve it.


Thanks

I meet all that criteria. I see now that FIDE administrators put on their page that my expected first rating will be 2126. But they said that my RP is 2126 too.
