Dan was joint first at the Paracin Open

Lots of other young English players in the tournament
Any postings on here represent my personal views

Looks like Marcus Harvey got an IM norm. Daniel appears to need less than two more rating points for his GM title.

Paracin does not constitute a GM norm for Daniel because only one of his opponents was a GM.
His average rating of opponents, at 2379.56, looks fractionally short of the requirement >= 2380.
Ah, but I was so much older then. I'm younger than that now.

I didn't say it was. He doesn't require any more norms.

GM norms and rating for Daniel Fernandez

The thread title (from 2015) is now a little misleading. Perhaps Lawrence as the original poster should go back to his first post and edit the title.

The original poster doesn't need to. The current poster can do that, as I have demonstrated here.

In the list of topics, the original title still appears. I wish these people on the cusp of getting their titles would hurry up and get them... That would stop all arguments about this. :D

Christopher. I disagree. An heroic quest for that final norm, or a 2500 rating, shows how difficult it is to achieve,

It looks like it. But maybe there are other results earlier in the rating period?

It would be a rarity if the rating requirement had been made with a win against his brother! :!:

I have only just realised that Daniel Fernandez has transferred his allegiance to USA. Michael remains at ENG.
The CCF have not caught up with that yet.

I think you are mixing up the names, Michael's brother and the subject of this thread is this one: https://ratings.fide.com/card.phtml?event=5801605 not the American who was born ten years earlier.

That takes his live rating to 2498 - 8.4 +5.9 = 2495.5 unless there is another result that has yet to appear on the rating server.

If the FIDE website is correct it appears that Daniel is carrying a loss of 8.4pts into this tournament, so presumably hasn't quite got there yet...

EDIT: as per Loz, above!
