Also my second question is :
National Master , people with this titles calling themselves a master's !? Why ?
Master is FM = 2300Elo FIDE , CM =2200Elo rating just a Candidate Masters , which means close to a master, but not a master yet .
So why on youtube in American videos I often hear he's a master he's a master or master playing and then his rating 2100Elo FIDE (NM title) . How can you call your self a master if you are not EVEN a Candidate for masters !? I'm really confused with all this scenario.
To achieve CM title you need 2200Elo rating , which is FIDE points.
To achieve NM title you need 2200Elo rating, which is USCF points = 2100Elo FIDE !
So I'm just confused. , does that mean NM is not a title? I mean FIDE doesn't recognize it, so it's just a local American "thing", "title" ?
With a rating 2200Elo FIDE you become Candidate Masters, what about 2100 Elo rating FIDE ? There's no titles for it , so..... NM is not recognized world wide? Is that it?
I'm not trying to offend anyone I'm just curious. .....
