Isn't that the same thing as getting a doctor degree or a plumbing licence ?
It's not 100 grand though
Well for a doc degree
Lol a small fee sure beats a fee for college lol but not like u will make a living out of chess but I'm curious how much the fee is

my older brother just became a pro player not to long ago and didn't say anything about a fee when I asked him but he's only a CM do you have to be stronger for them to charge.
I'm pretty sure you do, i know fide does and knowing uscf they would too, ask your bro
Oh wait CM is fide and NM is uscf my bad
The national federation pays the fees, but of course they can choose to have the player pay them, and the Dutch federation does. I don't think they make a profit on them, just let the player pay the FIDE fees, and they are:
330 euro for GM, WGM
165 euro for IM, WIM
70 euro for FM, WFM
50 euro for CM, WCM
oo thx alot!
Those are expensive fees :P, but worth it!
I'm gonna start saving up that 330 euros.
It's easier to pay that than trying to become a GM by practicing. Geez, what was i thinking....
