The CFC Governors at one time decided that that would be what it is and to hell with the rest of the world. A true candidate master in Russia and most other places is one who is between 2200-2300. A candidate master is untitled thus the term "candidate". There are 3 FIDE titles as everyone knows. Above 2300 the title FM is automatic if you hold that rating for a minimum amount of time. IMs and GM s of course have to earn the titles by placing highly in 3 different events. -- komputer Korner
