It's very important that we publicly shame all professional chess players under 2700.....in fact, 2700 is weak now with rating inflation. The top 10 will play un-terminating blitz and 960 tournaments for our amusement; all of the other so-called "grandmasters" will be sent to a chess gulag where they study until they become one of the top 10.

It's cabby. He loves to start up threads like this. Then everybody tells him how pointless it all is (and he ends up getting like 5000 replies!).
--- Well so far with all of the threads that my doppelganger and I have started up over the years we have only managed to exceed 2000 posts one time ( the oldtimer thread ). Mind you there is still hope for the future I guess.

--- Years ago we had an old John Deere Combine out on the farm to do that lol.
In recent years there have been a number of complaints that there are just too many GMs these days and the title has therefore declined somewhat in prestige. We could adopt a system similar to the Army regarding their Generals. That is to say you start off as a 1 Star General and try to work your way up to the 5 Star level. So we could have a RGM level ( Regular GM ), then next a SGM ( Super GM ), also a FWC ( Former World Champion ) and of course also CWC ( Current World Champion ). Note to the FIDE: I expect a finder's fee for this terrific idea lol.
--- We have just had a FWC retire from competition. Yes the 14th World Champion, Vladimir Kramnik has announced his retirement.
Bah, rating is overating... you list by elo then player like Caruana and Giri be stronger than Fischer yes?
--- Yes a very good point.
elo cannot get much higher than Komodo and co? Even to play flawless move...
Easy. Remove all titles and make one legendary title.
The "God Himself Title" (4000+ rating)
The "Big Noob" (U3999 rating)
And whoever gets the "God Himself" or GH title gets to run chess.com and have all its shares.
That's two titles.
And Chess.com is a private company, so there are no shares.

You can own shares in a non-public company...
But back to the main topic... I do not feel there are too many GMs right now, and current weak GMs appear, in my very amateur opinion, strong enough and contributing to the game enough to keep their lifetime title.

What company, public or private DOESN"T have shares? It seems to me the only way to avoid shares, even in an LLC, is to be the sole owner. That way there is no sharing with anyone.
you are very pretty...
Everyone is beautiful in their own unique way
yuh huh...
