How should I get the GM title, I am an intermediate chess player. Please give me useful advice. I want to desperately get the GM or IM title.
what rating defines intermediate?
He claims a 1598 FIDE rating.
Everyone can claim anything, and I did not reveal any secret.
Currently there is no Indian 12yo player with a FIDE rating of 1598, unless FIDE is lying, that is.
Oh yeah, they introduced that at some point after I'd joined, so I just ignore it.
It is an interesting concept. Basically, rewarding players for consistency. You almost always get the Category title after you've broken the rating barrier due to the requirement to hit 5 norms for a given level. But it is funny they went with the numbers for that and letters for the rating-based categories.
