India바카라s Rameshbabu Vaishali supported chess legend Judit Polgar바카라s recommendation that women바카라s titles should be abolished. (More Sports News)

In December 2023, R Vaishali became the third Indian women to win the Grandmaster title. 

In 2024, the 23-year-old played a massive part in helping India to a Chess Olympiad gold and capped off a good year with a bronze at the World Rapid Blitz Championship in New York, United States.

바카라I agree with her (Judit). Early in my career, I felt that titles like WIM and WGM can create a false sense of achievement. In the open category, these titles don바카라t hold much value and can demotivate players from aiming for the GM title. Removing these titles could inspire more women to compete directly for GM titles,바카라 Vaishali was quoted as saying by the Times of India.

There are four titles that are common for both male and female chess players: Grandmaster (GM), International Master (IM), FIDE Master (FM), Candidate Master (CM).

Apart from the four titles, a female chess player can achieve - Woman Grandmaster (WGM), Woman International Master (WIM), Woman FIDE Master (WFM), Woman Candidate Master (WCM). 

Judit Polgar's Milestones And Solution

In 1991, Polgar became a grandmaster at 15, breaking Bobby Fisher바카라s record, which he held since 1958. 

Polgar went on to become the first and only female to break into the top 10 in the world.

The 48-year-old has recommended that instead of women바카라s titles, there should be titles based on the player ratings.
