I suppose there is a clear difference in what is needed to earn the tittle and the fact that a guy entitled in this or that way keep the tittle for honorific reasons. Like ex presidents named "president" long after the end of his careers. In my country we have a very respected and loved player, International master Rene Letelier, aged 80+, that long ago lost his capability to be one, but no one dares to treat him as anything but IM. So, some people here should have in mind the difference between "be" a GM and be called a GM. fernando
