There are certainly a lot of players who have norms and ratings just under 2500 who have not quite fulfilled requirements for the grandmaster title. I was reminded by this when I read some more about Willy Hendriks, popular chess author. (he is one)
I am going to start a list even though it could get quite numerous (maybe into the thousands ?)
Willy Hendrix
also names from the past in Canadian chess (only because they are so familiar with me)
Lawrence Day
Bryon Nickoloff
Jan Teplitsky
Deen Hergott
Frank Anderson
Zvonko Vranesic
Leonid Gerzhoy
Nikolay Noritsyn
Edward Porper
Igor Zugic
Feel free to contribute (especially current players)
