How do you know he was above 2500?
Proof? So far we can see he never achieved 2500 rating
Yeah, as MikeGreenhill pointed out, as long as that player reached 2500 or higher at any point during a tournament, he then qualifies for the GM title (assuming he achieves his norms, as well).
He would've received a certificate from the Chief Arbiter, proving that his rating reached 2500 or higher at that point, which would've been examined by FIDE to award him the title.
When one of the requirements is to have or reach 2500 Fide Elo rating
Wait how is that possible he's only 941?
@ESP-918 if you work hard on your chess, then maybe in 5 years from now, your OTB rating might be 400 elo points below Hans'. I'm rooting for you.
Thank you, that's great.

Lol thx but no thx.
There is an Eric Rosen YouTube video on the game which gained him the GM title. I believe at the point his opponent resigned all the pieces were still on the board. Which is a pretty cool way to do it.
Huh. I didn't know Hans Niemann had made the GM title! Was still an IM last I looked.
