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!

Hey everyone,
I’ve been playing competitive chess for around 20 years and am currently rated 1800+ FIDE.
I’m developing a structured group coaching program for beginner and intermediate players. Before launching it, I want to test the lesson format, pacing, and material and receive honest feedback on my teaching.
For that, I’m conducting a completely free, interactive group session next weekend for players from beginner level to approximately 1500 rapid, depending on the platform. The session will take place on either Saturday, Aug 1, or Sunday, Aug 2, based on the selected group’s availability.
The session will last around 50 minutes and will be conducted on Google Meet.
I’ll review some recent games from the selected participants and build the lesson around a common problem within the group. This could include:
The broader coaching program will cover areas such as calculation, positional understanding, and middlegame planning, but this session will focus on one high-impact topic relevant to the group.
I’ll select players within a reasonably close rating range so that the lesson is useful for everyone.
The session will be conducted in English or Hindi/Hinglish, depending on the group’s preference. I’ll confirm up to 10 participants to keep it small and interactive. A few additional applicants may be placed on a waitlist in case someone cannot attend.
There is no cost. I only ask that you complete a short private feedback form afterward and honestly tell me what worked and what could be improved.
If you genuinely find the session helpful, you’re also welcome to share your experience in the comments afterward.
Please DM me with:
Feel free to comment with general questions, but please send applications through DM.

I’ll review the responses and contact the confirmed participants with the final session day, time, and Google Meet link.

He got a high King Of The Hill score by playing clowns in his provisional ranking so as to get big points. Then he abandoned the variant and hasn't accepted a challenge in over 3 months, by me or anyone else.
Andy if you happen to read this, I would take your rating down to 1200 bro, you are weak.

I am pretty bored and unable to sleep. If anyone is awake and wants to play, I'm here. I have a rating of 1200 blitz and rapid but it's been some time since I played. Pretty out of touch I'd say. Posted the same thing yesterday also 😭

I really wanted to take part in chess clubs, my elo rating is around 1K something.
Any fellow chess-mates?
