So. It goes CM > NM > FM > IM > GM

There are equivalent titles for women. The only difference in requirement is 100 rating points less than the standard title's requirements.

A CM is a Candidate Master.

A NM is a National Master.

A FM is a FIDE Master.

An IM is an International Master.

A GM is a Grandmaster.

NM is awarded by each country's national chess federation, not by FIDE, so how it compares to CM depends on each country's criteria for NM.
