I am willing to state for sure that nobody but FIDE uses the title FIDE Master. Could you give examples of other organizations that use the terms International Master and Grandmaster with respect to the game of chess? I'm not aware of any.

Quoting my own comment in a earlier message:
FIDE may lay claim to FM if you accept that it means FIDE Master however, because FIDE uses M, IM and GM they have no legal right to these titles, 80% of FIDE rules and regulation were adopted from other organizations, FIDE is only a governing body because we allow it to be this body, they do not have exclusive rights to how titles, labels (M, IM, GM) are used or awarded.

I have already stated that FIDE could lay claim to Fide Master, please read the messages correctly and completely!

Please do not quote me out of context: do you see the comma after the word years above? - which indicates the end of one thought (comment) and the begining of another thought or idea!
The terms in question (please review the previous messages) are : IM (International Master) and GM (Grand Master or Grandmaster).
Also now you are trying to place a restriction on my comments by adding the clause or comment (chess realted organizations) when clearly if you review my comments about copyrights and your comments on trademarks that my comment regarding several organaztions was not just related to chess.
As for examples I am not here to provide you with research information, but I will give you a hint, start with the associations not affiliated with FIDE and also look at the correspondence chess association that are also not affiliated with FIDE or have years of non- affiliation.
Even though I do not use the title International Master on my chess site (with the internet this title is meaningless), I do use the titles Master and Grand Master, and other online chess sites also use their version of these titles. -Anyname - International or Grand Master etc.
Also I forgot to mention that I also don’t use WIM or WGM because in my opinion in this day and age this distinction is no longer necessary!

Well, I don't want to get into arguments about grammar but that's not what a comma means. If I misunderstood what you wrote, I'm sorry.
