Sorry, but this is mistaken.  You have to play in a tournament of a known
"category" and produce a result >= X where X varies based on the category
of the tournament.  And it *guarantees* that you are going to have to play
and beat GM's to get the required 3 GM norms...  Or you are going to have to
roll over a *bunch* of IM players which is just as good.
