Kind Attention : All Players
As per FIDE Title Regulations
1.3 ( requirements for the titles designated in the 0.31 ) players are
awarded FIDE titles as and when they reach a certain ELO Ratings as detailed
below : -
1.3 Those titles gained by
achieving a published rating at some time or other.
1.31 FIDE Master
2300 Elo Title Fees : Rs.5000/-
1.32 Candidate Master 2200 Elo
Title Fees : Rs.5000/-
1.33 Women FIDE Master 2100 ELo Title Fees : Rs.5000/-
1.34 Women
Candidate Master 2000 Elo Title Fees : Rs.5000/-
Hence, we appeal to all those players who fall
within the ambit of above ELO rating to kindly apply immediately so that AICF
can apply for your FIDE Title. Players will benefit while playing in the
tournaments by getting better facilities if they are FIDE title holders.
Besides, this will also help many of our players to gain title norms. For
instance in a Title tournament a player has to play 5 Titled players to get a
Norm. When there are more title holders our Indian players will have more
chances to gain IM, GM, WIM and WGM norms. - 31st
