So with the new Elo rating in place, it begs the question... who will become our first Torn Grandmaster?

When it comes to Chess, a GM must have an Elo rating of at least 2500 (along with some other qualifications that are hard to apply to Torn).

I have a couple of discussion points, some of which may become more obvious as time progresses but could still be fun to speculate on in the early days...


1. What should the conditions be to consider someone a Grandmaster in Torn? Purely an Elo rating, or should they also have to meet additional attacking related requirements? These are the current chess GM regulations:

2. Who will become the first "GM" of Torn? For now I will define this as 2500+ Elo.



I am offering an SE of your choice for the first person to make it to this title, as well as an SE if anyone can guess who makes it there first - this guess must be posted/sent to me BEFORE anyone reaches 1800 (will regularly be checking with TornStats and/or CRLFs table).

There are so many f**king norms to become a GM, it's a lot more than just ELO

I think you need 3 good finishes in international tournaments... so to recognize this in torn, maybe 3 impressive performances in wars!

I did address that in my post!

How do you define an impressive performance? Top performance in your faction for a war? Or at least an average performance during a victory? Or something else?

To me it sounds like there should be a merit suggestion partnered with this thread? I mean we have the leader board merit for getting in the top 250, why not a grand master merit for this new stat?

Surprised he’s that far already! Perhaps just an effect of farming a bunch of 1000 ratings. Or perhaps a rating I’d say, 4000 is a more appropriate equivalent :o
themainman [1629262]
once they have over 2500 ELO they need to attack someone with over 10x their stats or something to get it

something achievable but might take several attempts

im gonna say it will be either prox or someone in NS to get it first tho

I will not be the first one to get to 2500 at this rate because now everyone is wanting to attack me thanks to this thread haha
