FIDE ALBUM POINTS 1914-2015
The World Federation for Chess Composition (WFCC) publishes collections of the best and most representative chess problems and studies in periods of three years. At the moment 24 such FIDE ALBUMS have been published that include 25794 compositions by more than 2100 composers.
International titles for composers are granted according to the Album points. One point is given for each selected problem (1,67 points for endgame studies). In joint compositions the points are divided by the number of composers. The limits are as follows:
Grandmaster: 70 points
International master: 25 points
FIDE Master: 12 points
After the results of the Album 2013-15, the top of the list is:
