Congratulations for playing your first tournament! Now, in order to get an established FIDE Rating you have to meet the aforementioned conditions:-
And that's it! That's all you require to get a FIDE Rating!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It does not matter! You should play them if you want to and if you really enjoy playing chess, when you play freely , that's truly when you can play your best chess! So do not get stressed about rating and your skill level, Be confident and trust your gut!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody knows! That's because OTB Classical is totally different from any online play. Such has been my personal experience. A friend of mine is 1900 Rapid on lc and he is 1700 FIDE....Another friend of mine is 2100 Blitz on lc and is 1400 FIDE.....Another friend of mine is 2300 Blitz lc and is 1550 FIDE...Another friend of mine is 2300 Blitz on lc and is 1850 FIDE! Personally I am 2100 Blitz and 2200 Rapid on lc and I am 1700 FIDE....So by now you should realize that otb ratings can be hardly compared to online and it really depends and varies from person to person. But anyways, rating should not be your main concern, you should play tournaments to enjoy them, that's truly how you can always lift yourself up even after a bad tournament.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, concluding my post, I hope I touched upon and covered most of the main points that I required to and resolved any queries but if any of you have any other query regarding playing your first tournament and finally transitioning from online chess to otb chess, feel free to ask anything, I will try my best to help you as will others hopefully here who have experience playing otb tournaments. Good luck and all the best for your first tournament!

Me and a few others have been growing a small chess server. We recently started hosting Swiss tournaments and it's been pretty fun.

I kept seeing players complain that free game-review tools miss obvious brilliant moves.
So I spent my weekends testing them.
I collected 100 real games where Chess.com's game review gave a brilliant, replayed them through every free review tool I could find.
My own tool came last.
Initial results:
Players had used our detector for about a year, and it found only 14 of the 100 moves.
The complaints were fair.
I spent the next two weeks rebuilding ours until it stopped embarrassing me.
Surprisingly, finding a sacrifice is easy. Deciding whether it is actually a good sac is hard. A sac that immediately wins the material back is often just a delayed trade.
The new detector checks four things: was the move forced, was the material truly given up, does the position stay strong, and was the game still balanced.
After two weeks of iterating:
The next best, Wintrchess, deserves a shout-out. It is open source, and its detector beat every other tool in my first test.
I published the full benchmark. You can inspect all 100 boards, including the 18 moves we still miss and every case where our result differs from Chess.com. The PGNs and raw data are downloadable.
To build the benchmark and my detector, I collected 1,000 Chess.com brilliants. I used some to improve my detector, then tested it on 100 different positions it had never seen before. I ran those same 100 positions through the five free review tools.
If you have a game where we missed a brilliant move, send me the PGN. I would rather find the next failure than get another upvote.
Next, I am planning to benchmark the rest of game review: blunders, miss, great moves, and move explanations.

In most of my games I play proper opening and put my pieces on good squares. But in middle game I either try to be too fast and lose backward pawn and my position collapse or I become too slow and allow my opponent to come back in game or I choose plan which is losing like wrong pawn push. How to make better plan in middle game. I am 1100 ELO and need to improve in middle game
r/chessindia • u/Bete_Mauj_Kardi • 17h ago

I wanna learn in proper way, please recommend me some free yt courses that might help me improve

So here is my analysis of gukesh downfall
the issue is that other senior players/media/his own self made him believe that he needs to improve intuitive play and reduce reliance on calculation and that is what his current game play standard is (you know with ppl saying he is fake and undeserved cuz he is not good in all formats ,and with media saying true champion needs to be stable in all 3 formats and he let it affect him)
and u can prove this cuz while his classical is going down ,his rapid and blitz have improved massively
and i hate this approach,cuz his team got beaten by the outside noise
becuz he is too young to change his style of play
even fabi had the same issue but fabi took the success until he stabilzied and then only worked on his change and that change is happening even now as his blitz play still falls off
i think gukesh should have just been amazing in classical and just taken the Ls in rapid and blitz for at least 4-5 years,and then once he has stabilized,he shld have focused on cahnging style of play
but now my question is what will he do ? will he play in olympiad or will he sit out or shld indian team jus tplay him in board 3 or 4 to just give him easier wins and build his confidence?

You can play today's challenge on r/chessamole. We need to capture as many moles as possible. Some moles give power ups. Once a mole disappears, its gone forever! Today's high score is 24 moles.

Hey, Iโve just published an iPhone chess clock app.
I wanted it to handle the annoying real-game stuff properly. If someone taps the wrong side, you can undo it. If a call comes in or the app gets closed, the game is saved and opens again paused. You can also adjust either clock without restarting the game.
The app is free to use it as a normal chess clock. Sudden death, Fischer increment, recovery tools, stats and three clock themes are all free, with no ads.
Thereโs a one-time Pro upgrade if you want the other seven themes or the more niche time controls like Bronstein, US delay, hourglass and multi-stage games. No subscription.
Itโs iPhone only for now and needs iOS 18:

Would love to get any feedback :)

Hey , i have this hobby of collecting passports on chess.com. i have earned 129/244.
Now I'm matching only with people whose countries I've already unlocked.
Can anyone tell me to get unlocked to make it 244/244 ?

r/chessindia • u/picklechess-alex • 2d ago
I'm making a game called picklechess, where you pick your pieces and then play mini chess. This is the weekly challenge, and you try to win in the fewest moves or the lowest budget.
You can play here: playpicklechess.com
Or hang out here: discord.com/invite/Cuytzk8bDs
What setup would you use to beat this opponent?
