Questions about Chess Titles...

I was wondering what is the first title u can get? Obviously GM is the last... I am not interested in USCf titles because I don't live in USA... What titles can you get for FIDE and what are its requirements especially CM.. What do you need for CM? Is CM the smallest title? Apart from NM?

This should explain some of it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_title

There are no small titles (only small tournaments).

Sounds like some kind of slang, sexist term.

Thanks CM could andy Clifton stay of this forum... I meant the smallest title available.. Smallest in the sense of.. Which is the smallest? Lol like IM is smaller than GM...

Oh, I was hoping that said "sexiest"...

Booby prize? I think Carlin did that routine. Oh wait, that wasn't titles.

At FIDE There is CM at 2200 FIDE, FM at 2300 FIDE, then IM at 2400 and GM at 2500. For the two upper titles you also need three title norms. For IM above 2450 in three tournaments and GM above 2600 in three tournaments.. Easily said. In addition e.g. Larry Kaufman became a GM becoming senior world champion.

great thanks...and i heard...what happens when u win the junior championships? i heard something about that they become GMs..is that true?

Yes in the Wiki article there is a link to the regulations:
