Just thinking if you knew, if you do please tell me.
Candidate Master is a FIDE title: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_title#FIDE_titles

I think CM is not a title. Its some kind of insult
@SpontaneousOrigami said (title):
> How do you become a CM candidate master?
By playing badly but having money to spare so you are willing to pay FIDE for a completely worthless title.
Basically FIDE invented all these titles (there are some for players like CM, for organisers, for arbiters, for trainers, for who knows what) as a money generation scheme, because you need to pay a fee for them. The going rate is about a few hundred dollars.

Actually it is a nice memory and I saved some money in Liechtenstein Opens (sparing the entrance fee). In fact, I got the licence fee (100 Euro for CM) back long ago that way.
By the way, titled tournaments here and there as well as premium at chess.com isn't a bad thing either. Free puzzle rush! :D
Keep up the good hating!
