How to get register for FIDE Tournaments?

You need to play official rated games with your national chess federation. If you live in the USA that would be USCF. The best thing to do is to find a local club that plays official games and start there. If you're only rated 1200 online you have a very long way to go (as in years) so just focus on learning the game for now and see how it goes.

You have to start young...try next life.
I started at 18 is that fine?

 

in your case no. its not. you are never going to be a titled chess player.

Many chess player started late and became really good look up Svetozar Gligoric.

There's not a way to that currently. If you get a title, then you submit proof of it.

Magnus Carlsen is THE GOAT!  If You want ti be chess masters train like how Magnus Carlsen Did!

I know this sounds painful; it's painful for me to suggest! But in order to become a titled player, you actually have to play chess in a real tournament, over the board. And cell phones aren't allowed!

I want to ask a question. User @foolmate2222 (chess.com/member/foolmate2222 is a titled grandmaster, but when you look at his rating this is completely impossible. Is this a glitch???

You can only get those by playing on FIDE's online site. They are not recognized here, only OTB titles are.

Nobody can ever gain a national or international chess title playing on chess.com, this has to be achieved over the board in FIDE rated over the board events, and that's a tougher harder challenge having been there and tried that myself!!?

The first 4 have to be achieved in the reverse order that you list them, although it was once possible to be awarded the Grand Master title as a special recognition.

The last one is awarded by your national chess federation / association and whatever rules they use to do that.

They should allow the AIM title by my name because i dont have time to go play in tournaments.

If you don't have time to play in OTB tournaments, Chess.com doesn't have time to recognise your bogus "title" happy.png

Hmmm… I am 7 years old and started playing chess at the age of 2… is that good? BTW I defeated my NM coach and my neighbours @idiot33333 and @aaaao when I was 4 years old.
