What I mean is that in the days of K40 gaining rating is not as hard as it was 10 years ago. A good tournament can easily give you 50 -60 Fide points when your rating is under 2300.

"FM isn't too hard" says the CM

I agree with that. oc acheiving a little bit more wouldn't be so hard.  but everyone is in a different place.

btw, I was watching a vid from a guy sharing one of his "class A" games. he was 9 when he was class A.

it is amazing to think someone could know so Much chess so young.   I think of all the things I did not know at 9.  and this guys knew then all that I know about chess now and more.

i believe that a title should be earned with hard work and good chess skills rather that bribery or buying a title. Having a title doesn't change how you play or how important you are. If you play people better than you but you have ahigher title because bought it makes you look bad because alosing to lower person. Always earn your titles.grin.png

2200 only equals NM in the USA.  Other countries have their own requirements.

Actually, the bribery route is pretty common in the chess world.  Not with the USCF or FIDE, but the title "National Master" can be bought for a price.  Just find some small, pliable, third-world country where chess is not much of a tradition (think Liberia or the Cote d'Ivoire) and bribe some minister to charter a national chess federation there "modelled" on the USCF but native to that particular nation.  Then for a price they will award you a "National Master" title.  It's really no different than buying into the English peerage. 

wouldn't it be better just to earn the title?

As the OP got his dreamed title, he could share with us how he did it... Training, books, daily hours spent on chess, things like that. It would be really helpful to everyone who is also looking to that path.

This is very, very interesting!

I didn't do anything so special, but spend a lot of time resolving exercises of chess tactics, just like in the Tactics trainer here in Chess.com. I read some books about strategic, mostly all books that I found of Dvoretsky, Aagaard and Yusupov. I learned not just the plain openings, but the idea behind, and the pawn structures resulting from the kind of opening of my choose. 

I followed a very strict training program, four hours a day. Some times three.  But this most be your priority. If you choose going out to see a movie, you are not taking the training like it should be. 


Firstly, Chess is all about patterns, that's how it should be learned, I think. Then, is about being practical, following some rules in the middlegame. Then, is about calculation and visualization. 

That's all I can say about that.  (Sorry my bad english) tongue.png

What about one beside your name in Chess.com?

That's just Chess.com recognising a title that they've earned through FIDE or their national association - see the FAQ Does Chess.com offer benefits for elite or titled players?

Please note that the list of qualifying titles doesn't include WFM, which I think is just an oversight.

@david I see.
