Chess masters that DESERVE the GM title

I would say GothamChess and Eric Rosen deserve a GM title, aside from me of course (jk)

Who else deserves to be a GM?

No one.

There were 27 grandmasters in that first group. By the early 1970s, there were fewer than 100. Today, there are more than 1,000.
...
Nigel Short of England, who was once ranked No. 3 in the world, has said jokingly that the term has become so devalued that he would rather be called “Mister” than “grandmaster.”

And that was 15 years ago.

Amen, brother. And to anyone reading, if you don’t know who Rashid Gibiatovich Nezhmetdinov was, I highly recommend this biopic:

Eric Rosen deserves the GM Title. I also think Levy is retired

I think I ‘deserve’ to be a GM. Why let the fact I’m not good enough stand in the way of my self entitlement?

Perhaps the OP can explain why others not good enough to be GM should be afforded a GM title when they’re not good enough either?
