I do not have a published Fide rating, but have a Fide number and apperently can find myself on a fide.com. It is interesting that although I had number of non-Fide rated results (played less than 3 games against Fide rated opponents in number of tournaments), the games (or statistics) against other players with a Fide number but without established Fide rating are included in my record. I wonder what is the purpose of this particular statistics.
In other words, is there a chance that Fide will rate those games, once player gets published rating? If not, that I assume, what is the reason that USCF submits such results to Fide?
FIDE requires that we include every player in the rating report for a FIDE rated event, even those who played no FIDE ratable games. That means every player in that event has to have a FIDE ID.
The USCF has the same requirement for USCF rated events, we require that every player have a USCF ID.
Does that then mean that, should one ever actually reach the point of receiving a FIDE rating (of which I am fuzzy about how to do at best,) that only the games from that point on count towards the FIDE rating?
And I presume one’s ‘assigned’ FIDE ID is one’s permanent ID for life, as in USCF?
If you have a “FIDE-ratable perfomance,” meaning at least three games in the same tournament against FIDE-rated opponents at ratable time controls, the games are stored and pooled until you have the nine needed for a published rating. In theory the IDs are permanent, but I seem to recall a couple of years ago FIDE started recycling old ID numbers, leading to problems.
