Minimum FIDE rating is 1400, so you really cannot be 800 FIDE. Also the gap between online and FIDE ratings is closer than people think.

- Retric 3y agoThat’s not correct, as of 2022: They only publish numbers above 1000, but they still come up with a number before deciding to not publish it. https://www.fide.com/docs/regulations/FIDE%20Rating%20Regulations%202022.pdf https://www.fide.com/docs/regulations/FIDE%20Rating%20Regula... Not all clubs follow those rules exactly, but you still need to track sub 1000 to know when people cross it.
- smatija 3y agoIt is since new rating regulations, which are in effect as of 2024: https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/B022024 https://handbook.fide.com/chapter/B022024 See 7.1.2. Ratings aren't tracked by clubs even when players are under this cutoff - all games for rating are submitted to FIDE.
- Retric 3y agoWhich only came into effect on March 1 2024, so people still have sub 1400 FIDE rankings from 2024.
- smatija 3y agoThey don't - ratings of everyone under 2000 got increased, according to formula: player rating + 0.4 * (2000 - player rating). So everyone now has rating above 1400, except if their rating fell under in meantime, in which case they will be removed from next rating list.
