Antichess Titles

An Antichess title is a title given by the International Antichess Federation (IAF) to players based on their performance and rating.

As the majority of Antichess games are played on the Lichess.org platform, we adopted the rating and tournament performance from there. Read more about Lichess.org and IAF.

To qualify for a title, it is required to specify a country player’s profil.

The current titles are:

• Antichess Candidate Master (ACM)

  Requirements: 2200 rating or 4 AM Norms

• Antichess Grandmaster (AGM)
  Requirements: 2400 rating or 4 AGM Norms
• Antichess Super Grandmaster (ASGM)
