Grandmaster (GM) title awarded by FIDE for GM norms International Master (IM) title awarded by FIDE for IM norms FIDE Master (FM) minimum FIDE rating of 2300 after 24 games National Senior Master (SM) e.g., USCF Senior Master--USCF 2400+ National Master (Master or NM) e.g., USCF Master--USCF 2200+ National Expert or Candidate Master (E or CM) e.g., USCF Expert--USCF 2000+
