NM title -- how to get it

I mean a NM title not from the USCF.  

Annyone knowe how to get them?

Specifics please.

Thanks in davance.

NM is not a fide title. Actualy many people say it is a joke title, because you don't get it because reaching 2200 rating or something. Sometimes just winning a pretigious tournament or something like that gives you that title (or several tournaments). Many NM are pathetic players (for one who holds a title), sometimes even 1850 or 1900 fide rated are enough to beat them, when 2200 rating is needed to get a real title from FIDE.

NM is short for National Master.  It is not a FIDE title, rather it is a title awarded by your national federation.  So it depends on which country you live in.  Inferring from your flag, you live in the US.  Ergo you would have to get one through the USCF by having a rating over 2200.  I do see the text you have put in bold and I'm curious what makes you think you can get one not from USCF.

A NM title is granted by the USCF when a player reaches an ELO rating of 2200 or above for Over The Board (OTB) play. This includes rated tournaments and matches played under USCF jurisdiction.

The title is for life.

Where did I say anything about FIDE ?

I also said NOT USCF, so post #4 is totally useless.

You do understand the concept of a hypothetical, correct?

Not everything everyone asks only pertains to himself in immediate, practical terms.

Your question makes no sense, which is why we are confused.

What other federation are you asking about?

johnmusacha, I hereby award you an NM title.

It's not from USCF, so all your requirements are fulfilled. It's even unique, since I never awarded a title to anyone before and I don't plan to do so in the future.

Can I have one too?

Any federation that is not USCF.  

Chess players have major problems with abstract thinking.

You know, AKAL, I wrote parts of that article.  I actually at one point was the sole author of the entire article on National Masters, which was later merged into the "Chess Title" article.  

I'll try to pull up an old version...

Here..enjoy (this version went unedited and unchaged for most of 2013)

Well, to be fair, it's not clear what your intentions were, aside from crapping on everyone who answers your thread!

I would have said "I'm writing a Wikipedia article and I am interested in compiling the requirements for acheiving a NM title in different countries, can anyone not from the US help me?"

I'm not writing the Wikipedia article.  I had written the Wikipedia article on it in early 2013.

Well, the answer to the OP is in the original poster's Wikipedia article. Can I declare this thread closed? 

Not quite....Can registered American Indians receive the chess NM title from their prospective Nation ? Their nation being sovereign and not a recognized part of the United States ? (e.g., Souix, Apache, Navajo, etc.)

They can of course award whatever title to whomever. If the Navajo nation decided to create their own NM title, who could keep them from doing so?

Hi Johnmusacha,

I may have the answer to your question, as i know the practises followed  in a few countries.

Which country do you belong or your friend belongs (be specific) who wants to hold the NM title ?
