Where we need to go for gm tittle

Avatar of blueemu

Chess.com does not give out GM titles. Only FIDE (the World Chess Federation) does.

Earn the GM title in real life (not online) from FIDE.

Then send chess.com the documentation and get it verified.

You must play official FIDE over the board tournaments and meet their criteria for achieving 'norms' through your performance. It's going to be difficult if you can't get your rating above 1100.

FIDE is the World Chess Federation (Federation Internationale D'Echecs).

You get a FIDE rating by playing in FIDE-rated over-the-board tournaments.

There are plenty of FIDE-rated tournaments in your country.

International Chess Federation (fide.com)

To become a GM, you would need a FIDE rating of 2500 or more, plus achieving three GM norms (performance results) with each GM norm consisting of a performance rating of 2600+ over 9 games against a field of opponents whose average rating is at least 2380. The opponents must come from at least three different national federations.

There are other ways to earn the title (such as qualifying for the World Chess Championship Candidates tournament) but making three GM norms is the most usual and easiest way.

It's not something a 1000-rated player needs to worry about.

Not biting yet. Will you stay patient or move to another spot? The fisherman's dilemma.

If you're not biting then why do you keep responding to me begging me to talk to you? 

You always say the exact OPPOSITE of what's true. Just like your weak 1900 rating....the OPPOSITE of playing good chess. 

A new bait. Let's see if this works.

If there was an easy way, the title would be worthless.

I think the only way you will get a title is to play in fide online arenas. If you play 150 bullet games, 100 blitz games or 50 rapid games with a performance rating of above 1100, then you will get an Arena Candidate Master or ACM title. But you need to do this on Fides website and not on chess.com

You're STILL begging me to talk to you even though you "claim" you're not "biting". Have you ever once said anything in your pathetic little life that wasn't untrue?

And again, why can you not do better than a 1900 chess rating? Too small of a brain?

45 minutes between this and your last try. Did you pause for a cheese sandwich? Come on now, back to work...you must catch your fish supper.

Careful not to use all your bait too quickly. Remember, you have already cast several lines into this stretch of the river.

Looks like there might be more chance of a bite down there.
