Looking at his FIDE card, it shows that he was 2300+ when he was still a provisional player (less than 30 rated games played).
He dropped below 2300 before reaching 30 games.
He has more than 30 games now, so if he reaches 2300+ again, then he'll be eligible for the FM title.

Oh wow I didn't know that!
So you are saying he couldn't get his title because it was provisional rating ? Does FIDE actually specify this ? I've just heard once you reached 2300 hundred you are good to go by FIDE , which he actually did, does it really matter provisional or not? He did reach it ! So.....
Great guy.
I started playing the Alapin because of him
Yes he seems like a good fella, who enjoys chess and have a passionate for it.

Yes, one needs to play at least 30 rated games before they're eligible for a title. This is a direct quote from the FIDE handbook:
Titles may be gained by achieving a published or interim rating at some time or other (see 1.53a) having at that time played at least 30 rated games:
FIDE Master ≥2300

It just happened this year. He didn't have the title when the thread was made last year.

I know his long goal is becoming a GM or IM , but at the moment he's just a NM , BUT BUT ... he DID reached and was well over it actually FIDE rating 2300 , so my question is why didn't he make a title FM instead of a NM !?
I mean NM is just a local title which is basically doesn't mean anything , especially in other countries, but FM title is very respected and it's global.
So what do you think is the reason ? Maybe it costs too much to make it or some other procedures?
Can he still make that title if now his rating dropped and he's no longer 2300 BUT was before ? Or you must be 2300 at this moment to apply?
