For FIDE norms you have to apply to a number of things
a) the level of the games must be about 40 moves in 2 hours
and then 20 moves in 1 hour and then 30 minutes sudden death.
I am not sure the level of the games applied to this FIDE time requirement.
Also a bit faster than the above level is possible, but not much.
b) the opponents must get from foreign countries, but they may not be
all from the same country. At least 1/3 of your opponents must be
from the other countries. However you need to count yourself too,
so in a 9 round event you need 4 foreign opponents from different
countries
I am sure this wasn't the case.
c) at least half of your opponents, same rule like in b (so counting yourself)
must be at least IM and at least 1/3 must be GM.
Was this the case?
d) your TPR must be > 2600. We talk about FIDE tpr. You may count your own
rating here too, to get the tpr lower.
e) preferably 1 round a day, but at most 2. There are more requirements.
f) official arbiters and definitely not sold games.
I am not sure it is possible to show this in this case. It is a vague
rule of course, considering there are norm tournaments.
g) at least 9 games. Opponents without FIDE rating count for 2000.
Ok then we didn't adress yet that computers don't have a FIDE rating of
course. Otherwise human players would have an easy time to get a title
by beating a few computers where they can ideally prepare for if they
want to (regrettably in some respects they never do, because they don't
get paid to BEAT the computer ever).
The FIDE is very tough if one of the requirements aren't met. For example
my club member and last year also team member Erwin l'Ami. He's 17 years
old. FIDE 2438 rated.
An IM norm of him wasn't recognized because from all the conditions, one
wasn't met: there were 3 foreign players instead of 4 in the group of 10.
It's possible he has a GM norm before he has his IM title...
Best regards,
Vincent
