# Sync your FIDE ID

If you’re a FIDE-registered player, syncing your FIDE ID automatically links your official rating and helps you avoid false flags in the Sixth-i anti-cheat system when you first start playing. No more Zoom is required—our Checkmate Live Arbiter Mode and in-platform video system handle all online supervision. For events like **Echess** (officially rated Federation competitions with online supervised play) and **Pro Mode** high-stakes tournaments (where you earn USDC), Arbiter Mode is mandatory to ensure a fair and compliant competitive environment.

#### Rated Player Requirements for Echess Events

* **Compete Under Your Real Name:**\
  For Federation events, you must compete under your real name.
* **Tournament Stage Compliance:**\
  In Checkmate Live tournaments, especially during playoff or finals stages, your real name (collected during FIDE ID sync) is visible to tournament admins and the public.
* **Regulatory Compliance:**\
  You must comply with FIDE Laws of Chess and Fair Play Rules for Online Competitions with Supervision.
