What do the titles means???

Ok @TallMagicalFlamingo i read it..... But what if I say that I have 2500 fide??? No one can't check in out so, do I get the title GM??? Is it that simple???

Before FIDE will give the Grandmaster title to a player, the player must have an Elo chess rating of at least 2500 at one time and three favorable results (called norms) in tournaments involving other Grandmasters, including some from countries other than the applicant's.

I agree, but how lichess knows my real name and my real FIDE ratings??? (Similarly, how lichess knows that a player IS a GM so that he diserves to get the title, and vise-versa???)

@pao3d1908 You have to prove it to Lichess, e.g. by sending them copies of the relevant documents.

You mean that all the titled players did this???

I did.

@Sarg0n are you also Sargon on Chessgames.com/?

@pao3d1908 yes, every verified titled player on lichess did that. In fact, those titled player that did not go through the process... don't have a title in their account name. I believe there's more than a few.

Ok thanks...

You have to verify yourself through google forms, which is here: docs.google.com/forms/u/2/d/e/1FAIpQLSd64rDqXOihJzPlBsQba75di5ioL-WMFhkInS2_vhVTvDtBag/viewform
