I currently have a chess.com rapid rating rating of 2089. What does this equate to as a FIDE OTB rating?

Thanks for sharing this. I had a look and it feels a little off in places. It suggests that 2040 rapid is equivalent to 2210 FIDE regular. That just doesn't seem right to me. I can see that it is probably impossible to find a neat formula.

And it would need to be updated because of the move of ten minute from blitz to rapid. 

But as you noted, there could never be a neat formula taking all the differences into account.

It's worth a buck o' five.

Show your game to a coach and ask him based on your game what will be your otb rating

Dude, your dedication to doing the 3 free puzzles a day and reaching 2950+ in puzzle rating is actually remarkable haha. That dedication is insane! 3 a day...

Well it also depends on country. In Russia or India, that would be maybe around 1500 or 1400. In other countries, probably around 1700

Do you have any basis for saying that FIDE ratings vary that much by country?

Is this documented somewhere?

Sometimes I defeat Chess.com Nelson Bot that is 1300.
And at Shredder I am 1100. 

There is a formula, from Lichess.
I don't know if this formula  is accepted as valid by FIDE.


FIDE Rating = 187 + Lichess Classical Rating X 0.38 + Lichess Blitz Rating X 0.48

I got a formula at

This does not work for obvious reasons. Ratings are sometimes different in strength at certain regions because of variables like starting rank and such. It's best to use the link that @justbefair posted( https://www.chess.com/blog/smarterchess/chess-rating-comparison-2016 ).

Therein you will find that at around 1500 Chess.com rapid it's higher than Fide but at roughly 1820+ it starts going the other way.

Best to just compare ratings within the same pool though.

Comparing within the same pool makes sense. In my case I, my "project" has two components. The first is to improve so the rating serves that purpose well enough. However, my second goal is to achieve my childhood dream ratings. First 2000 then 2200, so having some idea of equivalence would be useful.

That I agree with and makes a lot of sense.

1800 or so.

That seems right to me (based on my own historical levels of play. I guess what provoked the question in the first place is why the conversion (comparison) tables place the figure much higher.

I think it's higher than that for sure, at least according to that rating comparison survey. I think you are underestimating yourself.

Rapid is only easier around the lower ratings(1500 ish) at 2000 and above it's quite hard compared to blitz. I wouldn't be surprised if your playing strength is 2000-2150+ FIDE.

I am sorry, but can someone explain to me why the link some of you shared here is at all relevant:

https://www.chess.com/blog/smarterchess/chess-rating-comparison-2016

That's from 2016, before the Chess.com switched 10m games from Blitz to Rapid, and IMHO the above rating scale is obsolete. My Blitz rating precipitated after the aforementioned change.

I posted the latest updated one from 2021.
