This is quite big - at least for me - but isn’t directly related to GYE, so posting in “Fun” as opposed to “Journey to 90” and such.

Last week, B”H, I got promoted from chess title “Arena Candidate Master” to “Arena FIDE Master”, after keeping my online rating at over 1400 for 100 consecutive games.

It was damn hard! But I’m happy I finally got it. B”H.

This is the 2nd (from the bottom) of a total of 4 online titles you can get.

Highest to lowest:

1. Arena Grandmaster 
2. Arena International Master
3. Arena FIDE Master (<— I just got here!)
4. Arena Candidate Master
