The Woman International Master title
927 players hold the WIM title — 3.8% of every titled player FIDE lists. The median one is rated 2,116.
The WIM title sits at rung 2 of the women’s ladder. Its holders are rated between 1,652 and 2,392, with the middle half between 2,015 and 2,189. Titles are permanent, so this population contains everyone who ever met the standard and is still listed — which is why the median sits below what the title requires today.
