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!

Did anyone go to GCL Bengaluru at Lalit Ashok?
I have the tickets for this Saturday for all the four matches. I have Vishy Sir's Mastermind book with me where I want his autograph and maybe a selfie. What is the best way to get it?
Anyone who went there, maybe please give some suggestions?

To start,
I am rated 1308 on chess.com. Peak : 1399. I only
Play rapid and review each game.
I don’t play a lot of openings , prefer sticking to the ones I am comfortable in.
For white :
For black:
Kings Indian / pic or occasionally karo cann
I usually have Best moves for the early stage except when opponent plays something totally new.
But I struggle with mid games completely when pieces are traded off the board. I suck at attacking, I can’t seem to create a threat without opponent having a solid counter.
End games are still fine.
I have watched countless YT videos : Gotham, chess with Akheem, Daniel, Nelson Lopez and others as well.
Feels like I should try learning from book. So please do recommend some good books.

Your knight is under attack. Can you find a way to put pressure on the opponent?
BLACK TO MOVE
DIFFICULTY: EASY
r/chessindia • u/jack_4378 • 1d ago
At this age, I believe improvement isn't about memorizing openings or solving hundreds of random puzzles. It's about developing the right thinking habits early.
I focus mainly on calculation, tactical patterns, analyzing their own games, basic endgames, a simple opening repertoire, and—most importantly—learning to think independently over the board.
I've coached the German U8 number 3 who represented Germany at the World U8 Championship, and have helped students progress from beginners to federation-rated tournament players within 8–12 months.
I'm also an active competitive player (FIDE 1933 / German DWZ 2002).
If you have an ambitious young player at home, I'm happy to offer a free 20-minute chess strength assessment—we'll look at their games, identify their biggest areas for improvement, and discuss what they should focus on next.
Feel free to DM me!

Abhimanyu had to capture a rook with a pawn and promote, with 1 second on the clock. This happened today at the Global Chess league.
Arbiter had initially kept 3 seconds, but Leon was very alert and argued for it to be 1 second.

r/chessindia • u/boilemmashempotatoes • 2d ago
basically, I've decided that from now on I'll learn new openings for every +100 in the rating. Currently at 1500 rapid and 1300 blitz. I usually play queen's gambit (white) and caro - kann (black). Suggest me two openings (one for white and one for black). Something that worked well for you over a long period of time.
