| | International Master - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | An International Master is usually in the top 0.25% of all tournament players at the time he or she receives the title. | | | Normally three favorable results (norms) in international tournaments involving other IMs and Grandmasters are required before FIDE will confer the title on a player. | | | After becoming an IM, most professional players set their next goal as becoming a GM, although not all will accomplish this. |
