GMs and NMs and IMs and stuff

I know that GM stands for Grand Master

But what about the others?

NM = National Master?

IM = International Master?

Yep

What a guess

anything with W in front is women's. WGM = womens grandmaster

and CM is candidate master!

Ok

But what exactly does that mean?

google it

               Just to let you know, I fall under the stuff part of your thread.

Here are the names of each title and the rating requirements:

GM- Grandmaster- 2500

IM- International master- 2400

FM- FIDE master- 2300

CM- Candidate master- 2200

NM- National master- varies

You also need to complete 3 norms to get either IM or GM (I'm too lazy to explain what those are, google it if you're interested).

The requirements for NM vary by country, but it's generally comparable to the difficulty of obtaining CM.

GM - Grandmaster

IM - International Master

NM - National Master

CM - FIDE Candidate Master

FM - FIDE Master

TFTH. :)

;)

I'm sure most of these have been used before:

GM = Goofy Master

IM = Idiot Master

FM = Foolish Master

CM = Crummy Master

NM = Nutty Master.

lol!  FM is sometimes also used as Fun Master! 

Don't forget TM=traveling master.

TM= Trademark

Yup! 

That's true! 

i have read somewhere that FM stands for Fail Master

or team matches

MON = Master of Nothing (my current title)
