I got my title by (a) getting money (b) playing tournaments © a bit of coaching from Andy Martin.
However I paid all monies myself.
Why not simply ask David Congalton to allocate a norm-chasers budget of (say) £2000 a year and see what he says? If he rejects this then you must seek sponsorship or save up yourself. When you have the money you simply spend on training or tournaments. Simple. All the IMs in the 1980s & 1990s did it. Why not the 2000s and 2010s . Nothing stopping you. You have the same parameters.
Dates IM titles achieved - why the halt in the last 10 years ? come-on lads , let's get this moving again.
