"Are Chess Titles ๐Ÿ† Losing Their Value in the Age of Online Chess ๐ŸŒ?"

Avatar of IshaanJRagesh

With so many online tournaments ๐ŸŽฏ, engines ๐Ÿค–, and resources ๐Ÿ“š available today, it feels like the chess world has changed dramatically over the last decade.

Some people believe that titles like GM ๐Ÿฆ…, IM ๐Ÿฆ, and FM ๐Ÿฏ don’t carry the same mystique they once did because:

Online platforms give everyone access to elite training tools ๐Ÿ“ฑ
Title norms are easier to achieve in certain events ๐ŸŸ๏ธ
Online ratings ๐ŸŽฎ can be misleading compared to OTB strength ๐Ÿฐ
Points to Discuss:

Do you think titles are becoming less "special," or are they still the ultimate dream for chess players? ๐Ÿ’ญ
Should there be new titles or requirements for the digital era? ๐Ÿ’ป
How do online chess legends ๐Ÿ‘‘ compare to traditional OTB champions? ๐Ÿ…
What’s your opinion? Has the meaning of "Grandmaster" changed… or will it always be the gold standard of chess excellence? ๐ŸŒŸโ™Ÿ๏ธ
