One 2600+ can be over 9 games, the 24 games is for the 2500. Also, there are exceptions where a single performance can get you the GM title without the 2500 and two 2600 norms (9 game minimum for a norm): 1.1 Grandmaster: Obtained by achieving any of the following: 1.11 Two or more GM results in events covering at least 24 games (30 games without a round robin or Olympiad) and a rating of at least 2500 in the FIDE Rating List current at the time the FIDE Congress considers the application, or within seven years of the first title result being achieved. (See 1.7, 10.10) (GA '93) 1.12 Qualification for the Candidates Competition for the World Championship. 1.13 One GM result in a FIDE Interzonal tournament. 1.14 Winning the Women's World Championship match. (GA '93) 1.15 Winner on tiebreak in the World Junior Championship. (GA '93 and EB '99) 1.16 A tie for first place in the World Junior Championship is equivalent to one 9-game GM result. (GA '93) 1.17 Winner on tiebreak in the Continental Individual or Continental Junior Championship is equivalent to one 9-game GM result. (GA '95 and EB '99) Arab and Centro American - Caribbean Youth events will be treated as Continental Championships. (GA '93) 1.18 Clear first place in the Women's Candidates Tournament is equivalent to one 9-game GM result. (GA '93) 1.19 One 13-game GM result in the Olympiad will lead to the award of the full title. (GA '93). 1.20 Winner of the World Senior Championship (GA 97) So the 2500 rating and the two 2600 performances is only one way to get the title. Best Regards, Chris Carson
