To Chess.com Administration and the Chess Community

Joseph Reid, known on Chess.com as @JosephReidNZ, has achieved unparalleled success in the chess puzzle world. He is currently:

#1 globally for Puzzle Rush Survival with an extraordinary score of 1,234.

#1 globally for Rated Puzzles with the maximum possible score of 65,535.

#1 globally for Lessons on the platform.

His remarkable achievements demonstrate not only his immense talent but also his dedication to the chess puzzle community.

We believe Joseph deserves recognition for his extraordinary accomplishments. Specifically, we are calling on Chess.com to grant him the honorary 'M' title on the platform.

What is the 'M' Title?

The 'M' title is unique to Chess.com and has previously been awarded to individuals like Samay Raina and the automated Coach account. It’s a fun and celebratory title Chess.com has used in the past to honour contributions and accomplishments. While the title is no longer awarded routinely, Joseph’s outstanding achievements make him a perfect candidate to receive this distinction.

Why Joseph Reid Deserves It:

He holds world records in both Puzzle Rush Survival and Rated Puzzles, which represent unmatched consistency, focus, and skill.

He has inspired many in the chess community with his passion, determination, and excellence in puzzles.

Granting this title would not only honor Joseph but also highlight Chess.com’s commitment to recognizing extraordinary talent within its community.

Joseph reached out to Chess.com to request the title, only to receive the response: "We no longer do it now, sorry about that." However, we strongly believe this decision can and should be reconsidered. Recognizing Joseph with the 'M' title would validate his exceptional contributions and enhance Chess.com’s reputation as a community-driven platform.

We are not asking for additional perks like a free lifetime membership, which accompanies official FIDE titles on the platform. This is simply about celebrating Joseph’s achievements and giving him the recognition he has worked so hard to earn.

Sign this petition to show your support!

Let’s urge Chess.com to honour Joseph Reid’s incredible contributions and achievements with the 'M' title he rightly deserves.

Together, we can ensure that exceptional talent in the chess community doesn’t go unnoticed!

Sincerely,
[Your Name] and Supporters of Joseph Reid
