Fide rating

[white.night]

Hi friends......this is my first post here.  I wanted to suggest an idea which will be very useful for many users. I request you all members to put their fide rating in their profile so that its easy to compare the Chess tempo rating and fide rating... i always wondered what would the fide rating of Cmuroya and many other top members......its already very useful to know that the titiles FM and IM but if rating was also included for each member in their profile it would be very useful. My fide rating is 1749 but that is not accurate because i have just played one tournament. so if there is any option to put and update my rating in my profile i will be happy.Of course those who like to give their rating details can give and those who dont like they dont have to, but such an option should be there in the profile.thank you.

Also the information about country of each member is a gud idea.

Hi white night,

The option is for FIDE details entry is already there (under the 'other' tab in your preferences), you can enter your FIDE id, from which CT can lookup your FIDE rating.  Also premium members get a statical estimate of their FIDE rating based on their blitz or standard ratings that is generated from a statistical estimate of the relationship between the FIDE rating of user's who have entered their FIDE id, and their CT ratings.

Regards,
Richard.
