A Higher Title Than Grand Master?

When the original title of Grand Master was issued, there were five recipients. Today there are over 1500 Grand Masters. Yet, we only know and see the regular play of only the elite top. Names like Vishy Anand, Wesley So, Fabiano Caruana, Sergey Karjiakin, Magnus Carlsen, are players that are clearly in a league of their own. The weakest GM has little in common with these top players. I hear commentators use the term Super Grand Master quite often, but to be honest, it sounds like a title my 6 year old son would come up with. Adding the modifier "super" hardly suffices, and it is only a term of parlance, not an official title. What if Fide made a new title called "Royal Grand Master"? This title would be for any player who has been accepted to the "Candidates Tournament". Because getting to the candidates tournament is such a heavy endeavor, it seems like a good standard to hold for this new title. The title would also be given retroactively to all previous candidates participants, previous world champions and world champion challengers. What do you think?

But as the title inflation continues, we would eventually end up with Uber-Ultra-Super-Elite-Grandmasters.

Around the early 2000s, when there were only a handful of players rated over 2700, there was a proposal going around to call them "super GMs".

They should make something called "Supermaster" and then "Royalmaster" and then especially for Anish Giri, they should make "Drawmaster". After that they can make "Bongcloudmaster" as the supreme title.

Lol

These are no chess Fans, they are here to make a dissection, which is bad for any Chess Players or Chess Fans to digest of their findings.

It could be called Grand Archimaster

I have a better idea: Success Royal Grand Master.

Also... there is already "A Higher Title Than Grand Master".

And that is a simple one: computer.

"Chess is the only game where being called a bot is a compliment"

Exactly. An International Grandmaster is any player who has three GM norms and a rating of at least 2500. Where that player goes from there isn't relevant to the name of the title. For instance, a player can fall to the 2400s or even the 2300s and he'll still retain his title of GM. If the player goes on to 3200 he'll still be a GM. A "super Grandmaster" is not an official title for a player 2700 or above. Since it's not official, someday it may apply only to those over 2800. Who knows.

Chess doesn't need any more titles. God forbid it ever becomes like boxing with all of its lame titles. It would lose all credibility and titles would become irrelevant.

I'm thinking - TGP - The Grand Poobah.

World Champion. That is the only higher title.
