She earns with 3 gm norms and 2500+ rating. Well done.
When will FIDE stop the archaic process of awarding men’s and women’s titles? Perhaps when we are rid of IllusionOf.
Oh good point Mr. Liles but ive just recently learned of the possiblity that women may be better than men in chess, but i havent studied this gender debate just yet, because of Ultramodernism i just ignored their traditional views about women because its mathematically ridiculous, but ive just came into a new understanding concerning possible gender differences, where they may be better than us, but im not sure.
There’s no such thing as a men’s grandmaster title. She is a grandmaster, period. The qualifier is only needed for women’s GM, which means you’re not yet a real GM.
