Last years,you can ofthen hear some tournaments,mentioned like:''tournament for super grand masters''...or in chess discussion you can ofthen hear ,''he is strong grand master''

So what is diference beetween grand master and super grand master and how to recognize them?  I think chess world and fide organization Super grand masters called players who are 2700+  but I am not sure 

Can we expect in near future new title?

Super GM's are considered 2700+, but I'm pretty sure it's not a formal title, I think it's just to seperate the top players from the other crappy GM's who don't really know how to play chess.

I may be making up that last part though.  Smile

Oh, and if they're going to make a new title, I think it should be Big Sexy (BS).  To earn it, you have to be big and sexy, thus the title.

I think the new title should be called "Magnus Carlsen".

Super-Duper Grandmaster is the next logical escalation.  Perhaps to be awarded to the first person to break 3000.

There are no official titles higher than GM except for World Champion.  Super GM is an unofficial title to refer to 2700+ GMs.  I personally think of 2500+ as GM, 2600+ as strong GM, and 2700+ as Super GM.

I think they are all strong, regardless of whether they are GMs, IMs, FMs, etc.

I agree.   All titled players are pretty strong chess players.  I was not saying a 2500 GM was not a strong chess player.  I was saying a 2600 is a strong grandmaster.

Of course, but at my level, I would not be able to tell the difference in their ability, and therefore they would be equal in playing strength if I had the privilage to play against titled players.

"National Master". Not an official FIDE title, it means that you are a master within your country's chess title system.
