Titles

An Antichess title is a title given by the International Antichess Federation (IAF) to players based on their performance and rating.

As the majority of Antichess games are played on the Lichess.org platform, we adopted the rating and tournament performance from there.

To qualify for a title, it is required to specify a country player’s profil.

The current titles are:

Antichess Candidate Master (ACM)
Requirements: 2000 rating

Antichess Master (AM)
Requirements: 2200 rating or 4 AM Norms

Antichess International Master (AIM)
Requirements: 2300 rating or 4 AIM Norms

Antichess Grandmaster (AGM)
Requirements: 2400 rating or 4 AGM Norms

Antichess Super Grandmaster (ASGM)
Requirements: 4 ASGM Norms

You can obtain a norm if you played a minimum of 12 games and ranked top 3 at the end of the tournament. For swiss tournaments, 9 rounds and a top 3 ranking are required. In addition, the final tournament performance should be more than:

2200 for AM norm

2300 for AIM norm
