FIDE ALBUM POINTS

The Permanent Commission of the FIDE for Chess Compositions (PCCC) publishes
collections of the best chess problems from three year periods. Now there are
18 such FIDE-ALBUMS. The total amount of problems in all
Albums is 17 484.

International titles for composers are granted according
to the Album points. One point is given for each Album problem (1,67 points
for endgame studies). In joint compositions the points are divided by the number
of composers. The limits are:
