Imagine earning a chess title by only playing players between 5 and 12 years old, geographically isolated in the states of Washington and Oregon. See what I'm getting at?

Plus, even if it was a valid title, no chess site would recognize it.

Because it wouldn't be a legitimate title, and one that only specific people can achieve.
