A chess player having the FIDE title of International Master (IM or WIM) or International Grandmaster (GM or WGM) should register his/her account and will automatically become a member upon the payment of the membership fee.
A player having none of the above mentioned titles may apply for admission. He/She will have to address an application to the ACP Board in order to prove that chess constitutes an important part of his/her professional activity, whether he/she is chess trainers, chess teachers, chess journalists, presidents of chess clubs, etc. This list is not exhaustive.
His/Her admission will be submitted to the approval of the Board and, in case of acceptance, he/she will have to pay the annual fee as the other members.
The ACP membership and fee structure is divided into the following categories:
1. ACP Premium members € 100
2. ACP Standard members € 30
