in South Africa if you win the junior national closed tournament in your age group you get awarded the CM title...so its not uncommon for us to have 1400 rated CMs here...dont think its a FIDE title though

They really need to update this policy imo.

Someone who legitimately reaches 2199 FIDE misses out on a CM title, but some random 13 year old kid with a 1300 FIDE rating who wins an under 14s section of a random OTB tournament gets the title and can play Titled Tuesday on this site?!

CM is easy to get 2200.

IM is harder 2300

GM takes a lot of work, 2500 and norms.

Yeah, a 2200 FIDE rating is easy.

What is FIDE rating?
Your blitz rating or bullet

I saw today 1800 have a CM title how guys?

 

 

Depends. If the 1800 is the FIDE rating it's likely from an automatic title gained from a specific event that awards them.

I recently got CM title, and its on USCF though. Could we use it on our profile, or is it only fide ratings that count.

TO get a cm title you need to be least 2200 and have a consistent performance of 2200 in over the table fide games. To get an over the table fide rating you need to participate in at least 25 over the table games and also be enrolled in your country's national federation of chess. Then, once you can demonstrate a consistent 2200+ performance at a tournament or another chess event, most likely your national federation will apply for the cm title. So all you're missing is to get enrolled and participate in a tournament.

I bet my friend $500 that I could reach 2250 elo and get the CM or FM title in the next 5 months, any game plan tips? I play ruy lopez and Halloween gambit for some natural games

Do I need any confirmation for getting the CM title or just getting over 2500 elo and then submitting a form, because I have been told that there are no norms required, what do I do when I am eligible for CM title at 2500 elo?

Some people are so naive and young , obviously I don't play just here, JUST blitz. I relax here playing half my strength here for various reasons.

My club rating in blitz is 2050 OTB that's against pool of lowest rated players being 2000+ .

Even here you can see when I play a bit more serious my best wins against 2100+ players not just once but numerous time, and not time games but actually quality games.

Any way long story short I'm very experienced player in blitz , rapid and classic and even 960, bUT of course not quite 2200 yet but very close to it.

If I'm in my best shape and I play 2200 player say 10 games whatever time control I can gerante you I will win at least 4 games out of 10 , from 4 to 6 games max I would say.
