Oh that's easy to do.  You don't need norms or average rating or anything.  You just have to win a tournament; what is it World Senior Open or somesuch?  Help me out here folks...

Yeah! There's a special tournament for seniors to become GMs. The winner gets GM

You can become World Champion starting at 91, so I don't think GM at 92 should be that difficult.

the way is more important than the result, just do what you enjoy

If you do indeed try, I wish you all the best luck in the world!

As long as you become a SuperGM by the age of 70, I reckon by the time you are 92 you can become a GM...

Sure,why not?!

Maybe if you are Connor McLeod. But I suggest you to focus on swordfighting.

If he didn't start on the path to grandfatherness ages ago, the title will elude him.

Are you a child? Because I don't want to have to explain the hydraulics of the whole thing...

aman_makhija

Well I'm 12, but please do so.

Pulpofeira

Just wait 80 years and you'll get it!

aman_makhija

Really? It looks like you got it. Are you 92?
