Step 1
Sports classification in chess is a strict hierarchy model. It can be imagined as a chain: international grandmaster, international master, master of sports of the Russian Federation, candidate for master of sports, holder of the category (the highest category is I, the lowest - III).
Step 2
To obtain a sports category in chess, it is necessary to fulfill certain norms. The third category can be obtained by passing the "chess exam" to your coach in the chess club. Usually such an exam consists of solving simple problems (obtaining material or checkmate in two or three moves). You also need to be able to checkmate with a queen, rook, knight and bishop, two bishops. Theoretical questions about the endgame (the end of the games) and the realization of the advantage in it are possible.
Step 3
To get a rank above the third, you need to participate in tournaments and achieve a certain result in them. Moreover, for a victory (a podium) in a city tournament, II grade is assigned, and for a victory in regional (regional) level competitions - I. To participate in tournaments, you need to constantly maintain your chess level at a high level (work with chess literature, train on the Internet with online adversaries). But one should also take into account the certain specifics of chess tournaments.
Step 4
In a tournament, it is necessary to write down a chess game in a concise chess notation, so you must learn to do it very quickly, and so that the recording does not interfere with the game itself, bring the process to automaticity. Time control is another feature of chess games in tournaments. You must learn to think quickly (Internet games with reduced time control and blitz tournaments should help you with this), but in a tournament it is important to check each move several times - the fate of the game depends on it, and your rank too.
