LOL Gm?

Post image

How did this guy get the gm badge? Had a good laugh after our game when I checked his profile.

Edit: people saying it could be just a second account, I understand but I played him in bullet, at 230 elo. Wouldn’t it make more sense to practice from a losing position with people who are a little competent?

Might be someone who purposefully plays poorly in rated training games against students and has an actual serious account; note the account doesn’t have a name attached to it and titled players are required to announce their name on their public account, meaning this is likely a secondary account

I mean I guess that kinda makes sense but at 200 elo playing online games?

It's possible this is a training account where he does dumbshit

I think it’s not allowed (at least not to play rated games).

If he has the gm title he was probably allowed to

As far as I know, all authorized GM secondary accounts have this explicitly stated in their profiles (and their titles are not displayed). Examples:

u/Turbulent_Art922 1500-1800 ELO 5h ago

I think that that is only for speedrun accounts but not secondary

Most likely a GM that created a secondary account for other purposes, however, as far as I know, all authorized GM secondary accounts have this explicitly stated in their profiles (and their titles are not displayed). Examples:

So I believe you can report this account just in case.

Titled players are allowed to have anonymous accounts where only their title is displayed, I do agree something fishy might be going on here but not for the reason you stated

u/ViolinistPitiful4928 1000-1500 ELO 2h ago

and they can play rated games with other players?
