norms[edit]

I'm reading chess articles and I keep coming across the word norms, but I don't know what it means in this context, and it does't have a link. ErinHowarth (talk) 03:48, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Norms" are tournament results fulfilling the requirements to count towards the granting of international titles. The rules governing this are laid out at: ^[1]. Generally three norms are needed to gain the International Master or International Grandmaster title, along with holding a sufficiently high international rating. Because the requirements are quite strict (only a few US tournaments offer the chance for a GM norm each year) gaining the three norms is considered generally more difficult than gaining the rating.

Peak Rating[edit]

atm, according to the ratings listed under the profile, his current rating is higher than his peak rating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.137.78 (talk) 15:42, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've updated it. It's going to need quite a few updates in the future, I think. Quale (talk) 01:17, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Career[edit]

Something is fishy with the "zero national scholastic titles," it shouldn't really be included if he hasn't won any or it should be fixed if he has.

Update Image[edit]

The current image of Robson is several years old. It needs an update. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6:5D00:249:9942:EC01:A4A1:3139 (talk) 19:08, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ive replaced the image with the only alternative photo available on Wikimedia Commons, which looks like Corus 2010 so sadly its still the best part of 5 years old. That will have to do. Jkmaskell (talk) 20:02, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

USCF Master title?[edit]

The article says, "He earned the USCF National Master (NM) title in January 2006 by raising his chess rating above 2300 (the minimum required for the title of National Master)." USCF National Master is 2200 as stated by USCF ^[1]. Is 2300 here a typo for 2200, or were the rules different in 2006? Mkkuhner (talk) 02:29, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
