Right, my idea was to have a Master title instead of GM or IM.

The idea is to pass on the HH, SEA, BERS and QUAD to the new winners.Casshern wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 9:24 amI think of these titles as trophies or medals that can be passed out to different players. The question I have is, should these titles only be given to the most recent winner (meaning they get passed/transferred) or each winner forever keeps their title(s) (meaning there could be multiples of each and players could have multiple titles)?
Hell yes! In my case, it’s an interest which borders on the obsession. There are no other rules but the Historical Hnefatafl rules and Saami Tablut is their Prophet!
Update May 28th:- he is rated at least 1600
- he has played at least 500 games
- he has qualified in at least three tournaments within a rolling period of three years, this way
--- at least 80% point win in tournaments with one round (normal variants with at least 6 players, of which at least two more are rated at least 1800),
--- or at least 60% point win in the final round of tournaments with more rounds (no opponents rated below 1500). Again at least two more must be rated at least 1800.
This method of calculation for FM makes all variants equal. You could qualify playing Saami Tablut only, or in any mix of variants.Ded Fomich wrote: Moreover, at the moment it separates a “true” sportsman using Copenhagen rules from a “non-true” sportsman who prefers other variants. Presently the first one can be a grandmaster, the second one can not.
