Titles have a function, hence the reason they exist but for those of us more subversive than most, can we play with them?
BM is for Bad Master (in honour of ex-Luton G.H.Diggle), in terms of style BM means battymanesque (ex Luton moi)
CM not Candidate Master but Complete Muppet
FM Not FIDE Master but Faint-hearted mobster
IM not International Master but Ill-mannered madman
GM not Grand Master but Gay minion
SGM not Super Grand Master but Scary gruesome monster
And finally
IA not International Arbiter but Incompetent arsehole
Right, it’s gone 1 am and I’m off to Bedfordshire.
