Hi. I am a youth and I am wondering whether I can become a titled player or is it to late. I mean, I only started playing chess last year, August.

what do you mean, silly?

How about NM

u0110001101101000

Yes.

FIDE Arena Grandmaster requires the very advanced rating of 7.

Yes, I know, you probably think that's a typing error, or I was using BCF or something. But no, you read correctly. It's a huge rating, an elo of 7, but you have to remember this is the best chess title, only a few people have it.

u0110001101101000

Yes, it's very official and prestigious.

Ah, another error, my mistake.

I meant to say 7 year olds can get the title. GMSeaslessspark said he or she was a youth.

I think it's very possible for a 7 year old beginner to achieve the prestigious and very official and very respected FIDE title of UFC online GM.

That's Ungulate Fighting Champion of course. It seems the odd toes ungulates have an unfair advantage on the mouse though.

If I am a 1200 player, can I become a NM of FM?

Yes.

You will need:

4 slices of bread, a burnt rubber ball, and a tobacconist.

Also about 1000 more rating points, and heterochromatic eyes (bonus points for sectoral heterochromia).

How long does it take?

The operation itself is relatively short. An outpatient procedure.

But the blindness can last for up to 8 weeks.

Hey weveryone. What blindness are you talking about?

When you get your irises tattooed for the heterochromia.

Maybe it would be a good idea to play in an OTB tourney first, and see if you enjoy it.

I am playing in my first tournament on the 21 and 22 march

Fide Arena Grandmaster?? Are you kidding? "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Magnus, GM", "Hi Magnus, I'm Justin, FAG."

Actually Fide Arena Title are not that easy to get. Sure lower ones like ACM and AFM are easy, but rest not that much. Infact.. average chesscom bullet or blitz player have rating here about 1200, whichi is not enough even for ACM. Here i am 2000+ bullet and i strugle a lot with browser lag and small pieces (board size for some reason cant go bigger than one level above normal/large) , i play better and faster on other sites/platforms and still i could not reach 2000. Title is hard to get. Often 2000 blitz there means  2000 blitz OTB (fide) which is super hard than here. Not only you have to reach that rating, but have to play 100 more game above that rating.

For the author of the thread - yes you can reach master level OTB. Your age (8-18?) is perfect to start chess, you have free time etc , study play otb and one day youl will be strong player, why not titled.

How do you get a fide arena title?
