Chess is definitely a Powerful IMAGE amongst many Communities in the World Today... Lower Rated Chess Player's doesn't get the RECOGNITION as Super Chess Player's... Grateful as I am to play chess and be part of a Chess Family, It should also be Looked at that Lower Rated Chess Player's deserve a form of an Chess Title. It's like when we're raising our Children... we as parents want the best... and for their accomplishments we reward them for all their hard work Success... From there Their desire to push further becomes unlimited. another form is like... masonry. from degree #1 Enter Apprentice to a Shriner Level... There is a Certified Reward... Peace.

There already is a title for players who barely know how to play the game.

It's "Patzer".

Players who can even make moves with a pawn is already better in chess knowledge than players who move knights like queens.

I guess this thread is best summed up by a scene in the movie "Searching for Bobby Fischer" about Josh Waitzkins when he was a kid and how he won the National Championship for his age group. I think he was 9 when he won.

Josh was very fruatrated with the adults pushing him to play chess and in the scene he wants a reward for doing an elementary problem.

 Bruce Pandolfini gets into an argument over it and eventually pulls out a stack of blank certifications he fills for his various students and tells Josh he can make more certifications if he runs out.

Josh's mom throws out Bruce after that.

The moral of the story is that society has to limit titles to people that show a certain amount of proficiancy in thier chosen endevor, regardless if its an educational title like Phd, a chess title like FM or GM, or any other field.

How do you quote a post?

Trophies and ribbons for showing up:

That would be funny if it was a joke, but it's not.

Sad, but true that children, nowadays, are given rewards for merely showing up for an event.
