By playing in club matches or other events recognised by a national body. The point of my question is that the top players here
are around 1600 Redhotpawn but I think they would be higher than that in national grades. Bessyboo has said somewhere
that she is 1800 Scottish.

I think I said I was a Scottish Terrier actually. My rating was once a bit
shy of 1800 once upon a time. It is now somewhat closer to 1600
thanks to years of knocking over pieces by wagging my tail too much.
That, and an inability to concentrate for longer than 30 minutes at a
time. That's why I'm a lot better at correspondence chess....
