NM is Not Master, thoughts?

@GCHQ I think these are the Fide Arena titles, which are ACM, AFM, etc, and no one takes seriously outside the Fide Arena and I am not sure even there. Wikipedia tells me the ACM title is awarded for being above 1100, the AFM for being above 1400 and the AGM for being above....drum roll....2000.
NM is national, CM is international (FIDE).

All that matters is good moves.
@piscatorox No. the fide arena titles go up to arena GM at 2000 rating.

Beyond those you can get CM and NM titles. Although arena GM and National CM are the same requirements.

I'd show you if I could share a screen shot.
A NM is a national master which is a master.
NM = Not Master
FM = Fake Master
IM = Incompetent Master
GM = Garbage Master.
There. I hope that settles it.
OK masters are not soposed to be not cared abount them they also do there best to be a national master
@piscatorox No worries. It's a photo sharing site but I don't trust strange links either.

I'll happily reupload the photo to another site if there are any you know to be safe.

Apart from that, I'm sure anyone else with FIDE arena can verify what I said.
