What are all of the titles for rated chess players?

Just wanting to know...

International titles are given by FIDE
CM, FM, IM, GM, and world champion

These are open to anyone. FIDE also has titles that are available only to females.

Apart from FIDE, there are also national titles like Russian GM (as opposed to international GM from FIDE) and national master in United States (as opposed to FIDE master).

So a comprehensive list of "all" titles would be really hard... but the important ones are basically the 4 FIDE titles (and world champion).

Women are not a title, no.

Yeah, I said FIDE has titles available only to females.

Basically it's regular title - 200 points = female title.

WCM and WFM are below the universal titles. WIM is like CM and WGM is like FM.

There's this thing called a serch engine. Maybe you've heard of one of them, Google?

I don't know what kind of a person thinks that posting silly questions like this here is the easiest or fastest way to find answers. Here's your "shortcut"?!?:

There is also the no master, like myself.

Introduced in 2002, the most usual way for a player to qualify for the Candidate Master title is by achieving an Elo rating of 2200 or more. Candidate master ranks below other open FIDE titles, but above the WFM and WCM titles.

 

Yes, unfortunately you can't make money out of it, and reaching 2300 won't change a thing.

NM is a USCF title. I have never heard of a gender specific USCF title. In fact, I've never heard of any USCF titles other than NM. Maybe a national champion of sorts, but that's not the same thing.

You were saying something?

And we didn't care back then, why should we care now?

ChessOath

WTF are you talking about? In no way did the link I give make that part of your post relevant.

I can't even begin to understand what you're saying to NoMaster.

peste is actually a very good talker. I was at many of his threads and we became friends there so dont insult him pls.

Do your homework. I played for a win when I wanted to play for a win. Titled players were the obvious pray, while I was still motivated to play.
