I've seen a lot of FIDE Masters in my time here, & they seem to be more common & nice than any other Master. I just wanna know, what does FIDE stand for, & who are FIDE masters?
FIDE is the international chess federation.
The abbreviation of Federation Internationale Des Echecs is FIDE.
They organize and rate international chess matches.
FIDE Masters have achieved a FIDE over the board rating of at least 2300.
Ok, so they're like the mods of chess rating?
Is there a reason they're so nice and (for me) willing to coach?
