2025 World Chess Festival (Orlando)
Advanced Registrations (14 Players)
(Last Update: 2/22/25 10:53am PST)

In the event a player competes from another country, their FIDE rating (which is the main "worldwide" rating)
will be converted to a USCF rating and be used as the official rating.
The formula is as follows: USCF = FIDE + 50 if FIDE >= 2200, USCF = 0.765 x FIDE + 560 if FIDE < 2200.
This will be noted by "(FC)". .
