Tebb turned down the FM title because he didn't want to pay I recall right. Zumdahl is an NM, although he really doesn't pay that much attention to his games here. Also, Mike, I'm not sure if it's a typo in your profile, but recommending a Dutch set-up against g4 makes no sense. 1. g4 f5 2. gxf5. But I will start a new thread discussing your ideas in your profile so as to not hijack this cool thread.

I'd say it's nearest comparison in OTB titles is the 'Expert' title that exists in the USCF.
