Woman FIDE Master
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Woman FIDE Master (WFM) is a chess title awarded by the World Chess Federation FIDE. Restricted to women players, it is the lowest-ranking of the three women's titles awarded by FIDE, which are:
- Woman Grandmaster (WGM)
- Woman International Master (WIM)
- Woman FIDE Master (WFM)
The requirements for the WFM title are easier than those for the lowest-ranking unrestricted title, FIDE Master (FM).
The July 2005 FIDE rating list records over 600 women holding the WFM title.
