LM stronger than CM?

@lance5500 is way better than @giraffepoacher, or @galbijjim, or @Ultimate_SHSL_Gamer
-> Galbijjim and Giraffepoacher, or SHSL_Gamer don't play very much, and have mostly provisional('?') Ratings.
-> Bullet And Ultra are just for fun and are not counted as 'Chess'. Yes, Hikaru and Alireza are champions in bullet, that's in OTB. It's important to prove yourself in rapid and blitz in online.
-> Just see Mr Lance's trophies! And what Marathons!
-> Galbijjim offline for 4months, Giraffepoacher offline for 11 months, and SHSL_Gamer offline for a year! While our Mr Lance Sir was just online!

then why are LM's not CM's? just because they are not applying for it?

FIDE Elo 2200 might be a hurdle. Otb you have to use different weapons.

Hey before knowing anything don't talk anything first of all giraffepoacher is GM Eric Hansen and other LMs that you have mentioned are also strong I agree that lance5500 is strong but not stronger than Eric

Paying 100 Euro and begging. Playing chess for 30 years without a title is just too embarrasing...
