| Mar 10, 2022 at 14:28 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | I'm actually curious now as to who would be the lowest-ranked player ever to win a world tournament. Not sure if it's worth asking a new question for it though... | |
| Mar 9, 2022 at 17:45 | comment | added | cmgchess | btw zonal events used to give direct IM so probably direct GM as well(for winner ofc) | |
| Mar 9, 2022 at 17:40 | comment | added | cmgchess | i initially thought that 2500 published rating is needed. i checked this guys last event and the case here is definitely 2. he lost last round and lost some 4.5(approx 5) so he had reached 2500 live rating before that | |
| Mar 9, 2022 at 17:27 | comment | added | Kevin | @DarrelHoffman: I'm sure it would be very unlikely, but I can just barely imagine, say, a financially independent person spending several years of their life studying chess without actually playing in many (FIDE-recognized) tournaments. I'm not sure why one would choose to do that, however. | |

| Mar 9, 2022 at 14:20 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | Winning a world tournament while not already having a 2500 - how often does that happen? Seems pretty unlikely unless - just everybody else was having a really bad day? (Might be more likely in the Junior than the Senior just since many of the contestants haven't played enough games yet, but still...) | |

| Mar 9, 2022 at 10:09 | comment | added | cmgchess | reddit.com/r/chess/comments/7l2gv8/…. The last point cleared my doubt. Apparently it is live rating 2500. Thanks | |
| Mar 9, 2022 at 9:42 | comment | added | cmgchess | @IanRingrose rating history doesnt show 2500 touched at any point | |
| Mar 9, 2022 at 9:29 | comment | added | Ian Ringrose | I think the rating of 2500 can have been any time in the past. | |
| Mar 9, 2022 at 4:23 | comment | added | cmgchess | so basically a live rating of 2500 is enough for GM? | |
