Chess Power Junior Master™ Title
|
Junior Master™ is a title awarded by Chess Power to players under the age of 18 who win a major Chess Power event. The Junior Master™ title is difficult to achieve and quite prestigous. When a player achieves the Junior Master™ Title, they are awarded with a framed certificate recognising the title in a special ceremony.
From then on, the initials JM appears before their name in all Chess Power events and also online. The new Junior Master™ is also invited to special events such as simultaneous exhibitions, exclusive strong tournaments and also enters the Chess Power Hall of Fame™.

Eligibility
Chess Power events where the title can be earned are:
a) Chess Power MC Cup finals.
b) Chess Power National Interschool finals Junior Division.
c) Chess Power National Interschool finals Intermediate Division.
d) Chess Power National Interschool finals Senior Division.
Players must be under the age of 18. Players must not hold a superseding title.
Use of the title
The title gives you the ability to use the initials JM before your name (in the same way that FIDE titles GM, IM and FM are used) at all Chess Power events. The Junior Master title is a temporary title and is only valid during the period that a player meets the eligibility criteria.
Players who attain the title, but then lose it (eg. due to age increase or being awarded a superseding title) may refer to themselves as “former Junior Masters”.
