''kinda famous'' yeah sure- and SOME people have 2 eyes..... Bu Xiangzhi is a SUPER GM; fun fact= He and Garry Kasparov are the only two GMs that have never held the IM title before becoming GMs. (Meaning that when they appeared in the chess world they were so strong that they were already GM level and won their GM norms in their first rated tournament-so they went from unrated to GM in a day.)

Actually that's incorrect. That never happened with either of them.
Even Kasparov wasn't that strong when he starting playing rated games.
They both got the GM title without being IM's first by simply getting the required GM norms after obtaining FM ranks. It's a very nice jump, but they still played for a few years in rated tournaments before reaching the GM title.
Actually, both played for a few years in rated tournaments before reaching the Master title.
Yeah, there were a few players like that. I didn't point that out because the important thing was that even the geniuses took a few years of tournament play to reach senior world class level.

Albin-Planinc(Yugoslavia)-and-Larry-Christiansen(USA)also-went-from-master-to-GM-skipping-the-IM-title.you-need-3-norms-to-get-the-GM-title.
Can someone explain to me how you get a title and the steps to each one and what are norms?
