The Fédération Internationale des Échecs or World Chess Federation is an international organization that connects the various national chess federations around the world and acts as the governing body of international chess competition. It is usually referred to as FIDE (pronounced /ˈfiːdeɪ/ "fee day"), its French acronym.[1]
FIDE was founded in Paris, France on July 20, 1924 [2]. Its motto is Gens una sumus, meaning "We are one people". Its current president (as of January 2008) is Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, who is also president of Kalmykia, an autonomous Republic in Russia.
thanks, you really helped. so would an 1847 be a high FIDE rank?

1847 isn't too high. It's intermediate, I'd say, because to qualify for the lowest master level, you need a FIDE rating of ~2200. 2500+ is a grandmaster.
1847 is a class A player right?
1847 would be class A within the USCF. I'm not sure anyone else uses this nomenclature.
FIDE Master is 2300 FIDE.
1847 FIDE, while not a killer rating, still represents a good amount of skill and knowledge.
FIDE master is 2200
Edit: nevermind, I am thinking of National Master

Not unless it's been changed.

I believe there is a title called Candidate Master now, for 2200-2299
You can search on the FIDE site for Lasitha Yasanga.
I found Subash Lasitha who could be the same person. You can see where an 1800 rated player is ranked in the world.

Aren't CM's only rated 2000-2199?
Where do NMs fit in the entire scheme, then?

You can put whatever you want in your profile. The site asks for proof only from titled players.

Fide master should be coded as FM ,but I’m not clear if it can be coded as long as you get 2200-2500 or have to register , 😅
Anyone ever heard of this FIDE ranking system? i was playing a new chess.com member and checked their profile and it showes a FIDE rating under her online chess ranking? it was pretty high, should i be intimidated?
