    The CBC fact checkers believe that to be a mistaken notion. They say she got it by virtue of being women's world champion. It is possible that she earned norms after being given the regular GM title. The driving force behind that particular segment Alex Shprintsen read this thread on chesstalk.

    Susan Polgar was the first to earn a regular GM title by the norm process in place at the time.
    Wikipedia backs up Frank. Nona earned the title via norms.
    *********************
    In 1978 Gaprindashvili became the first woman to be awarded the Grandmaster title by FIDE. She was granted the title after scoring two grandmaster norms totaling 23 games, the last of which was winning Lone Pine 1977 against a field of 45 players, mostly grandmasters. Although the GM title normally required 24 games, by exceeding the GM 'norm' requirement in Lone Pine, FIDE found her results over 23 games equivalent to 24 games and made her the first woman Grandmaster.[3]

      Wikipedia is not definitive proof. I am not sure one way or another. I am just telling you what the CBC producer told me.

        Donald Trump claims to his followers that he won a GM title and the World Chess Championship by defeating Bobby Fischer in 1975 in a 24-game match, but the Deep State interfered. It suppressed all knowledge of the match, which was held in secret in the Cheyenne NORAD facility where the StarGate to visit other planets is being held. At the conclusion of the match, the Men In Black swept in and caused the real Bobby Fischer to jump through the StarGate, from which he allegedly promised just before he jumped through to return with the Galactic Chess Championship title sometime in the future. Donald Trump escaped by private Lear jet to Scotland, but all records of the match were confiscated and have yet to be revealed. There were no media reports of this at the time because Fischer made it part of his demands that there be no media, agreeing with Trump that the media is a national security threat. There is some controversy about the final game of the match, with Trump leading by 1/2 point. That's part of the controversy, because it's impossible for one player to be leading by 1/2 point, but Trump worked it out that way. But the bigger controversy is that Trump was holding onto his captured Queen and when Fischer promoted a Pawn, they wrestled for the Queen. Fischer (wearing a full facial mask and calling himself "King Bobby") threw Trump over the top rope and broke a folding chair over his back, and Trump was about to be counted out*....

        The promoting move would have won Fischer the game and the match, but Fischer never got to press his clock -- that's precisely when all hell broke loose. FIDE claimed in 2018 that they found out Hal Bond was arbiter for this match and they had to send the KGB after him.

        And let's not even talk about what happened in Uruguay.

        (Edit): *Trump later claimed the referee was a Democrat and was counting by 2s, i.e. "2....4....6....8....Oh my God, the Men in Black are here!"

                            In Jamaica and reggae, apparently it is a slang term for a certain non-chess position.

                            Perreria (Spanish) translates as dirty trick, harsh words or cursing

                            Wow, this is like having my name up in lights!

                            Unfortunately, it seems I must "appear" on stage as a hairy BigFoot decorated with 9 lucky stones, cursing and swearing in Hindi while in a certain non-chess position somewhere in France.

                            Meanwhile we have the CFC President making this statement (which prompted my whole Donald Trump comedy bit):
                            "Wikipedia is not definitive proof. I am not sure one way or another. I am just telling you what the CBC producer told me."

                            If Wikipedia is not definitive proof, why is the CFC President even quoting some anonymous CBC producer???? Why is he even posting on the subject? That's why I gave my comedy response.

                            By the way, Brad Thomson, I prefer your Sherlockian genius to Neil Frarey's anyday! Cheers!

                                While I am neither a Grandmaster nor a biologist I do believe that mating IS a chess position.
