TITLES FOR NON-FIDE PLAYERS/FOR ONLY ONLINE PLAYERS

I hope this reaches the admin or moderators of chess.com. I wish there were, or there could be, titles for non-FIDE players when they reach the required ELO. The design of the title could be non-colored, for example, monochrome, so it wouldn’t be red. This way, there’s a distinction between officially titled players and non-titled players.

And yes, titled non-FIDE players wouldn’t get free diamond membership. The purpose is purely for display, to provide some challenge for players who can’t participate in tournaments and can only play online.

Your profile says you live in a very large city near Manila. There must be chess clubs or tournaments in your area.

I have a full-time job, and it seems like I’d need to sacrifice my work just to be dedicated to chess tournaments, which for me isn’t a good trade-off. There’s no guarantee that life will be stable even if I become a FIDE-titled player, especially without a job. Maybe to compensate for the losses, I’ll just become a chess streamer instead, lol
