To become a Grandmaster you must earn at least 2 norms and have an Elo rating of 2500 or greater. Once you are a Grandmaster you earn that title for life. After that the Elo rating is how Grandmasters are ranked. 2500 to 2599 Elo: standard or average Grandmaster rating. Most Grandmasters fall in this group. 2600 to 2699 Elo: What some call the Elite Grandmaster ranks. Usually less then 100 Grandmaster fill the Elite ranks. 2700 & Up Elo: World Class Grandmaster ranks and usually includes the World Chess Champion(s) and challengers. Usually contains less then 10 players, but has gone up in recent years.
