If the FM is 900 then you have probably been trolled...

If this is real it's some kid that was sandbagging. Big deal!

Don't you have to provide Chess.com with a proof of your credentials?

Do you mean for online games?  If so, then the answer is simple: you laugh at them.  Either because he/she is so bad and still somehow managed to get the title, or (more likely) the only way he/she can feel better about their skills is to deliberately lose a bunch of games to weaker players.  Both are very unbecoming of any titled player.

Bad internet connection. Just saying.

By online games, I don't mean Live Chess games.  I mean 24 hours per move kinds of games or longer.  So unless the person in question has the most unpredictable and unreliable internet ever that goes off for days at a time, I'm sure it doesn't affect those kinds of games.

Maybe it was 900 ECF (7450 FIDE). But it's fairly unlikely

Or maybe it was some clown whose chess.com name is FM whatever.  If the FM is in red, then it's real; otherwise it means nothing.  Lot of that going on here, mostly kids.

I know a 1500 in OTB play that is an FM. He moved from another country.

that puzzle is a 900 vs. A knowitall player with no knowledge about chess except how the knight moves.
