.....
i feel like the M title should be given to people who feel eligible or more deserving of it
he's the fastest growing chess channel on youtube, has the record for most people watching live on a stream and reached 1800 in under a year defeating several masters enroute. He's also caused over a million people to take up a chess in the lockdown. He also is the owner of the fastest growing club on chess.com

1. gotham has the fastest growing chess channel on youtube along with agadmator and hikaru
2. he is not 1800
3/4 what do those equate to having a legit master title by chess.com
@agadmator or someone higher than 2100 should deserve it
1. by fastest growing i meant he amassed a high number of subs in a short time
2. he has reached there
as for agadmator, i do agree, he does deserve the m title for his devotion to chess, i do not know why he hasn't been awarded it yet

I think the term "GrandMaster" was first used by Tsar Nicholas II when he welcomed the players to the St. Petersburg tournament, calling them "...the Grand Masters of chess."

I don't like the Gotham guy. He gives crap advice for opening gimmicks that are only suitable for bullet.

1. i would still say gotham along with hikaru and agadmator have gone through a much faster pace than samay being way higher with huge communities on their channels.
2. yes but i thought you meant currently which is not
3. he is not awarded cause the M title is meaningless and just a joke which is sad
1. they took 3 years to reach where they are, samay, just a year and half
2. np
3. it's not
look i dont wanna argue on this
but lets agree, hikaru, levy, agad and samay are all good streamers who deserve the recognition they get

yep but like gotham got it way more quicker in months i believe
I know that there is a category called "Master" in USCF but I've only seen this once before.
