i have a good idea for chess.com: Titles!

Sort:
Fetoxo

It would give chess.com more popularity, and it could race with the FIDE Online Arena. It would be like this: OCM (Online Candidate Master). OM (Online Master). OIM (Online International Master). OGM (Online Grandmaster).

Cheating is already a giant problem, we’d have a million titled players overnight and nothing but computers playing against each other.

Blunder master would be nice to obtain, I hope they make it real

It would have to be verified. You couldn't just play without your identity. You would have to verify it with your identity card/passport/driver license and your face

At best, it would be an administrative nightmare for chess.com. They certainly don't have the staff to deal with verifying thousands of players.

It's also quite possible that FIDE and USCF would take offense, and there'd be lawsuits.

ERFUL

Amateur titles could just be a feature in addition to ratings which should not require identification.

Access to titled events for untitled players could be earned through designated tournaments with robust fair play measures, such as Proctor, 2 cameras, identity and so on.
