Titled players
Verified titled players carry their title across OpenPawn and sign the pages they check. Your FIDE ID and a Lichess or Chess.com account that shows your title are all it takes.
In every game, on your profile, on leaderboards and in clubs. Checked once, shown for good.
Approve a course, a How to beat page or an opening. Readers see who stands behind it, with a link to your coaching website.
With the name readers should see and your Lichess or Chess.com username.
Paste it into your bio for a moment. It shows the account is yours.
Our team checks the title against FIDE, and the badge is yours.
What titled players ask before they apply.
GM, IM, FM and CM, the women’s titles WGM, WIM, WFM and WCM, and NM. Your Lichess or Chess.com account has to show the title, because both sites verify titles themselves.
It shows the account is yours, since only you can edit your profile. You can delete the code as soon as we have found it.
Your FIDE ID, the account you named, the title it shows and the name for reviews. We only send the username to Lichess or Chess.com, nothing else about you.
Only if it turns out to be wrong, for example when the account belongs to someone else. You would see the reason on this page.
