How To Become A Grandmaster In Chess
Since I started to play Chess, it was my dream to become a Chess Grandmaster. This title has wide recognition, even outside the Chess World. Nearly wherever you go, people will have heard of “Chess Grandmaster” as an elite and prestigious title.
The Grandmaster (GM) title is the highest title that exists in Chess. It is given to a Player by the International Chess Federation (FIDE), the governing body of competitive Chess.
Once achieved, the Grandmaster title is held for life. The same goes for the less known titles of International Master (IM), Fide Master (FM), and Candidate Master (CM).
These titles are earned similarly but simply have easier criteria. Before becoming a Grandmaster, one usually gets the titles of Fide Master and International Master first.
Those are Women Grandmaster (WGM), Women International Master (WIM), Women Fide Master (WFM), and Woman Candidate Master (WCM).
