i have a question about FOA titles (ACM,AFM,AIM,AGM)
I'm not sure if these titles count as official master titles, but i'm afraid (hypothetically), if i get one of them i am unable to play non-master tournaments, and since most tournaments around my city are non-master, i'm afraid i might sabotage my chances at improving at chess otb, just because i got a lower-rating band title.
They are recognized at FIDE events but should have zero impact on the ability to enter over the board tournaments.
