Are those New FIDE titles official?

The chess federation FIDE has decided to introduce new titles for busy people who dont have time to achieve the old traditional titles IM and GM.

I am wondering whether these new titles will be official, i.e. they will appear next to your name in tournaments and you can include them in your CV? 

here are the details

you can see that the Fide Arena Grand Master title costs only 50 euro but why pay 50 euro for something thats not official?

Come on Yuri.  Everyone knows how much chicks dig chess.  With an official FIDE card proclaiming you an Arena Grand Master you'll have to fight em off. Wink

Not gonna happen...You're a decent player Yuri, why not enter some tournaments and see if you can earn a real title?

No, it's either autism or paranoia. The consequence - jail, for selling a lie. Someone is still trying to prove something.

I know that in some tournaments they put the Fide Arena Grandmaster Title (AGM) in front of the name of the title holders. Everybody can see it in the standings and on the draw for each round! So it is very important to have it cause your opponents will have respect and fear of you.

See for example in the Gibraltar festival the Arena titles are OFFICIAL!

The player 

Boado Rodriguez Martin

is FIDE  ARENA GRANDMASTER and the title goes everywhere with his name!!

No, it's not that, but we can't do much about it. Well, you know, playing their game.

That's one possibility of course, but far more likely is that it will inspire laughter and general disrespect.

Folks, it is Chess.com policy that we do not discuss our competitors in the open forums: I am therefore going to lock this thread.

FIDE can award whatever titles it wants to people, but those who think that an "Arena Grand Master" title is anything like an "ordinary" Grand Master title is exactly their target market.
