Is there Actually an 'M' title?

Sort:
EnCroissantCheckmate

@Coach has a title of 'M' (not GM, not IM, not FM, just M). 

It says that M stands for master. But does this title actually exist?

Maybe chess.com changed national master to master in their last update

For @SamCopeland, it still says NM

I don't think there was any such update

M is a chess.com bot. I saw that on another forum somewhere. Often times it is connected to an account that manages something, like chess.com lessons.

Thanks!

No problem!

Yeah @Coach was the one I was talking about. I forgot the name earlier.

But why does it say 'titled player' when it is a bot?

Because it is consigned to titled players, mostly.

The account is most likely responsive. That means there are people behind those responses, and those people are probably all masters of some sort.

M is a chess title. It means Moron.

I haven't heard of such a title. The titles I know of are: GM, IM, FM, CM/NM and maybe some titles

for females. That's all I know.

M is the head of Secret Service Intelligence in the James Bond movies. I’d imagine that she has at least a passing familiarity with chess.

It's not an actual title, just something the site is using for that account.

Same is the case for Samay Raina. He too has an "M".
