As we all know, the Expert rank has a length of 300 instead of the more common 200. On the other hand, the IM rank covers only 100 points. Is there a specific reason behind this? I would be delighted to know if one exists.
In my opinion, it would be more consistent and satisfying if it looked like this:
$$$1600-1799$$$ : Expert
$$$1800-1999$$$ : CM
$$$2000-2199$$$ : M
$$$2200-2399$$$ : IM
We can make Master rank the minimum barrier for division 1 contests instead of CM, since $$$1800+$$$ is not that much. Additionally, to further improve the consistency, we could consider introducing a new rank between IGM and LGM. This would make IGM from $$$2600-2799$$$, and the new rank from $$$2800-2999$$$. Here are a few name suggestions for this new rank from me:
- Super Grandmaster
- Epic Grandmaster
- Elite Grandmaster
I actually wanted to add a voting option for this, but I'm not sure how. If someone can help me add one in the comments, or explain how to do it, that would be much appreciated. Also, You may give some ideas in comments too.
Let me know what you all think about this!
well if that happens, that would make Dominater069 a Super Grandmaster (first from India)
kal013 what about him? :)
oh I didn't knew about him, thx for telling
No problem!!
Super GM, just like chess, that would be cool
Auto comment: topic has been updated by loom (previous revision, new revision, compare).
In my opinion, current distribution looks good. International grandmaster feels more superior than super/elite/epic GM
If many people think so, we can put those before IGM?
