Getting FM requires more as just 2300. it requires to pay the fee for it too. Apart from that suppose you don't have fide rating at all, but you win the world championships youth till 20, then you are GM without a FIDE rating even. The title delivers GM title for free. Till 14 delivers FM till 16 i guess IM. till 20 it gives GM for nothing (winning it is not nothing though :)). >I am not sure about it because I suspect that you need to save the 2300 for 24 >games but it is clear that if you have a very high elo you cannot lose enough >rating so you practically can know that you have the FM before you got the GM >title. >Uri
