A Candidate Master is a FIDE title and international while a National Master title is a national federation title based on their national rating systems such as the USCF. Generally international (FIDE) titles are more prestigious than national titles.

NM is a national title sone federations have, such as US Chess. A 2200 US Chess is generally considered slightly weaker than a 2200 FIDE CM.

It's relatively difficult to become a titled master.

Only the top 1% of players reach this level ...
