Three strength-based categories:
🔴 Red Mates: 0–1000 rating
🟡 Yellow Mates: 1000–1500 rating
⚫ Black Mates: 1500–2000 rating
Which rating should you use?
If you have an official FIDE rating, use your FIDE Rapid rating for the Rapid Tournament or your FIDE Blitz rating for the Blitz Tournament.
If you do not have a FIDE rating, use your Chess.com rating (Rapid for the Rapid Tournament, Blitz for the Blitz Tournament).
If you do not have a Chess.com account, use your Lichess rating (Rapid for the Rapid Tournament, Blitz for the Blitz Tournament).
If you do not have any rating at all (FIDE, Chess.com, or Lichess), please register in the Red Mates category.
During registration, you will be asked to show your FIDE profile or your Chess.com/Lichess account so we can verify your rating.
