A Super GM uses an engine. A GM doesn't use an engine. Thus the huge difference in rating. 

Therefore I am a GM

I don't think it's really debatable. I've always known that Super GMs are those that have at some point reached or exceeded the 2800 point rating.

To be a super GM you have to first play for VCP in this game https://www.chess.com/votechess/game/99098 wink.png

All decent players are welcome.

a must = b but b probably doesn't = a. Solve for x. I hear 2800. Wrong. Next.

@#2 No comments.

@#3 Idiots shall be idiots.

@#4 What's the difference in understanding of the game? And SuperGM is 2700.

@#5 Please don't advertise here.

@#6 Doesn't answer my question.

So far, 0 of my answers have been helpful.

A Super GM gets invited to the cool closed tnmts and has a shot at making the Candidates tournaments. A GM is fodder for the Super GMs, but munch on IMs for lunch.

@#8, still not helpful. What's the difference between them? I understand that a 2500 is fodder for a 2700, but what's the actual difference in knowledge and understanding between them?

A super GM has to be in the top 5 in the world

Which reminds me, how much did R*d B**l bribe you with for this? https://www.chess.com/blog/Robert_New_Alekhine/pitting-red-bull-vs-orange-juice

"post your thoughts here"--then meticulously shots down all thoughts.

my thought is biblical (but not religious)


"My thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are my ways your ways"  Isiah 55:8,

 

which means only a superGm can answer your question.  and none of them have time to answer silly questions.  (or even half-silly questions)

 

sorry RNA, I like your articles, and you chess understanding is surely top-notch. but I foresee you getting no good answers to this question.

Super GM's know 5,000,000 patterns

GM's know 20,000 patterns

Their rating. Duh! Their experience, duh! The fact that they can devote to Chess, Duh! The fact that super GMs were bought by me, Duh!!!!

In response to your @#4 comment, if you knew the answer then why ask

And the difference in understanding of the game probably has to do with more natural talent

100.

Diakonia's answer is useless but the best one so far.

A Super GM gets to wear a cape with "GM" emblazoned on it in large letters. Super GM's also have the super power of being able to fly (but only if they don't check in more than two bags).

You lost money.

You should ask for orange juice companies some money too, not only for R.B.

Shame, shame, shame  on you, bad skills on business.
