Basically more from less competition countries, hard to find one from the US or Russia

thats the reason we're not taking it easy thats way too low for a title

We'll, I don't see anything wrong of having low rated titled players but it shouldn't be that easy for them to obtain the title. It would make a lot of capable titled members who are untitled feel bad

WFM can equal anything from weak player to strong untitled to CM but in most cases WFM=untitled imo

FangBo

Some titles like CM, FM, WCM and WFM can be awarded for performing well in junior tournaments. If there is a country with very little chess competition, it is easy to gain such a title through winning the national championship.

IMO, NM is possible for a low rated player, but FM? Not sure

NM is stronger than WFM but weaker than FM

NM is 2200 USCF anf FM is 2300 FIDE. There is a formula USCF = FIDE - 100, therefore to become an FM is 200 points more than to become an NM.

NM is national master, so if your country's best player is 1400 then a 1300 could get NM title, fm is more international,

You have to show your passport and stuff.

eh not really

It is all relative. Some people view 1000 as low rated, some people view 2200 as low rated. Doesn't it just depend on your frame of reference?

I guess, although 2200 is significantly higher than 1500

So is 2700 significantly higher than 2200 wink.png

but only needing 1500 for a title just seems wrong

Perhaps it devalues the title, although it might encourage chess in poor countries.

I honestly think there shouldn't be any women titles in the first place. Ofc it favours them but isn't that an example of promoting discrimination?

That's it class, we'll discuss about this another day.
