FIDE Titles

Hey guys, just wondering how to apply as a candidate master on fide. are there forms somewhere that Im missing? Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

right, I have an established fide rating of 2120 after 6 or so tournaments.

in order to get cm title you sould play 20 tournys and and a 2100+ rating 2200 is fide master 

It's 2200 for FIDE CM.

See section 1.3.

@ deepmac, interesting, I thought 2300 is FM. The interesting this is NM can still be achieved with a chess federation of canada rating, it doesnt have to be FIDE. I had to maintain 2200 for 25 games consecutively. After doing so, I was granted the title.

@Doggystyle, thanks for the proof. Good to know :)

 

I could be wrong, but isn't the national federation responsible for submitting a title application at FIDE? So you can't apply directly at FIDE.

Zinsch is right. It's written in the link Doggy_Style had given! 

FIDE CM and Canada (or any other country) NM are not related, they are awarded by different bodies. If you want FIDE CM then your FIDE rating needs to have hit 2200 at some point. FIDE don't care about national ratings (which is fair enough - otherwise I could start my own federation and award myself a rating of 2800). If you can show FIDE that you hit 2200 at some point, they should give you the title. I think you have to pay for it though, I'm not sure how much.

CM is a FIDE title. I guess some countries have their own Candidate Master designation, such as the USCF, but that one is lower than a NM where the FIDE CM title is higher than NM (2200 USCF is an NM, but that is usually under 2200 FIDE)
