IM / GM icons (titles) next to the username
Step 1: Get a title.
Step 2: Verify it to chess.com along with photo ID.
OK, step 1 looks a little hard, but after that it seems easy enough. Good luck!
Thank you! Did not know it was so easy. I just need to win a title 
How do I get these titles up there next to my username? To be clear the icons that I am talking about are the ones in red with white text “GM” or “IM” on them...
Say, whatever happened to the FIDE online "amateur titled player" program? Like 1400 or 1600 would get you a title. Amateur Grandmaster. That has a nice ring to it; comes with photo ID. It does sound a bit grandiose I suppose to non chess buffs though. International Master sounds almost plausible. I suppose I could go look it up myself....
i'm an afm lol
So run through the titles for us, if you don't mind. And the important question of course: is it as much of a chick magnet as our fevered imaginations allow? Feel free to lie to us; we're used to that around here.
So mean old chess.com won't give you the coveted red letter AFM?
but i cant get any titles :C
I think they will give you titles in their FIDE arena server but they may probably charge you $50 per year.
If they can charge $50 per player and give an average player a title, it is a kind of $50 million per year business. Woo Hooo!!
