FIDE Master (FM) is the FIDE title for players who have reached a FIDE rating of 2300, after at least 30 rated games. Unlike GM and IM, the FM title does not need norms.
One step below is Candidate Master (CM), at 2200. The women’s versions are WFM (2100) and WCM (2000).
FM and CM can also be earned directly, for example with a 65% score from at least 9 games at the Chess Olympiad (FM), or a medal at certain youth championships (CM).
