Can someone provide an estimate of what my FIDE rating could be?

Hi everyone, 

I have been playing chess from a long time. 

I joined chess.com in 2015 and have been playing online since then. 

 

My current Chess.com rapid rating is 2109.

My current Chess.com Blitz rating is 1900. 

 

My Lichess rapid rating is 2300. 

My Lichess Blitz rating is 2100. 

 

Can someone provide me an approximate FIDE rating level I could be in? 

Some websites are saying I might be in 1800 to 2000. 

Somehow looking at my gameplay I am still not feeling I am at that level. 

 

Can anyone please comment on this? 

 

Update: I used to OTB tournaments ( Non FIDE rated) 4 years back. 

 

My best score were draw against 2100 FIDE, draw against 1980 FIDE, win against 1800 and few 1700s. 

But during that time I also used to draw, lose few games against 1400 and 1500s.

So I am not sure. I have improved my game play since then. 

I believe that chess.com rapid rating is atleast 400 points higher than FIDE. 

Somehow all online calculators using chess.com and lichess ratings and chess rating calculators by solving positions are giving me 1900-2000 rating. 


And the fact that I haven't played any OTB tournament in past 4 years but have been studying chess makes me wonder.

I think we need to study how well you dive off a board. Luckily, someone has already done this for us. Now we can estimate to precise depths what your FIDE rating is.

1900 seems about right

200 less than your chess.com rapid

Impossible to tell. I've seen a profile on chess.com of a guy that claims 1400 FIDE rating and is above 2300 here on bullet. 

I've beaten 1700+ FIDE rated players in Daily on another site - on this other site Im currently rated above 1800 - and here Im 1000 in rapid.

You will just have to go play an OTB tournament in the time control of your preference and find out.

If you want to know what your FIDE rating "would" be, just go and play in rated OTB events! Your opponents won't care what your ratings are on various online sites. They won't care about your puzzle scores. They won't care  about what books you've read. All they will care about is how well you play chess. Because that's the only thing that matters

FIDE is extremely expensive. It is $100 a year just for membership, and the tournaments are not cheap either. Unless you happen to live in a big city, you're going to have to travel, which is an expense also. 

You aren't going to put down the $$ unless you are really serious about chess, which eliminates a low of lower raters, so even a 1400 FIDE is REALLY strong. 

It also makes it hard to make a one-to-one ratio, since the pool of players between FIDE and chess.com are so wildly different.  So, I don't think it's possible to answer your question.

Probably 1500 or 1600 Maybe high 1600s

I'd say much more than that. I'm usually about 1550 FIDE.

@binomine: damn, it is 40 € (about 48 $) here, and tournaments are quite cheap. And all FEDA (national) events are also FIDE. It's like USCF was a different world.

i think 1600

As was said earlier, probably around 200 lower.

I'm not sure what membership you are referring to.  There are virtually no individual members of FIDE, just national federation memberships that cover all of the people in their country.  The US Chess membership (no paper magazine, just on-line) is still $45 per year (less for age-based discounts or multi-year memberships).

Some of the premier clubs may charge their own membership dues (particularly if they run a lot of FIDE events) but that is not for FIDE membership.

200 less

If you've never played OTB you have to get used to it first... so maybe below 1800.

But if that happened, it'd go up pretty quickly after you started playing regularly.

Try out this link. Answer the ten questions and it will tell you an approximate rating.

I've used it a couple of times over the last few months. Seems I'm getting better, a bit.

Probably about at a chess.com-fide average, you would be 1700. Rapid rating?

Think of it like cooking. You probably cook meals at home and eat them, but if FIDE were a 5 star restaurant, would you be hired to cook there?

I don't consider Bullet as well. 
We can even ignore my Blitz and provide an estimate based on my Rapid rating in both websites. 

 

Also I have added an update. 

Update: I used to OTB tournaments ( Non FIDE rated) 4 years back. 

My best score were draw against 2100 FIDE, draw against 1980 FIDE, win against 1800 and few 1700s. 

But during that time I also used to draw, lose few games against 1400 and 1500s.

So I am not sure. I have improved my game play since then. 

Score from Chess maniac is -1960.
I want to know my current level.
