How to get my first fide rating?

@Gingersquirrelnuts said in #8: > Yeah, Lizani is right. I've tried and so far failed, and I'm rated about 300 higher than you in Lichess. It's not easy to do ALL of the following: > -Find appropriate local tournaments that are FIDE-rated > -Get sufficient games against players who are good and experienced enough to have a rating > - Get a good enough performance in those games. > > But that's nothing to be embarassed about or anything- FIDE rating is designed for players playing international level tournaments. I get that it's fun to be rated on the same scale as all the best players in the world, but for most of us, our national rating is far more useful when we play OTB. In my experience, people I play against are far more interested in my national rating than whether I have an international one. Play some local tournaments, concentrate on improvement and that's how you'll get there. Yeah, i would still like a FIDE rating, i know someone who is around 1700 fide. I get what you are saying, and yeah, its definitely tough, you’re right, but i still think ill see if i can find any fide rated tournament, and i probably will do another USCF one
