Calculating Grandmaster and International Master Norms
The Grandmaster or International Master Norm is the minimum score at which the player may get the norm. The Grandmaster or International Master Norm is possible under the following 2 (two) conditions:
1. The player must meet the FIDE norm requirements.
2. The player's score must provide, at least, the minimum Performance Rating needed for the norm.
The following is some of the FIDE norm requirements:
• At minimum, 9 games played;
• At least 50% of the opponents must be titled;
• For a GM norm, at least 3 of the opponents must be GMs;
• Maximum 22% of the opponents can be unrated.
The following minimum Performance Rating is needed:
• 2600 for the Grandmaster Norm;
• 2450 for the International Master Norm;
• 2400 for the Woman Grandmaster Norm;
• 2250 for the Woman International Master Norm.
You can get the International Master Title if you have 3 (three) 9-game-tournament's International Master Norms, and if FIDE recalculated your current rating at 2400 even once. You can get the Grandmaster Title if you have 3 (three) 9-game-tournament's Grandmaster Norms, and if FIDE recalculated your current rating at 2500 even once.
There is no need to have any Norms for getting the third Title in FIDE - the FIDE Master Title. You just need to "hit" the specific current rating as defined by FIDE. For more details on awarding the Titles of Grandmaster, Woman Grandmaster, International Master, Woman International Master, and FIDE Master, please see the FIDE Titles.
He should be qualified to receive an International Master Norm.
