How to unlock the Grandmaster achievement

    You can get this achievement in 2 ways:

    1.) Play Online and beat other players until you achieve ELO 2500
    2.) Get a Pure Chess Rating of 1000

    It is highly recommended to choose Option 2, it`s much faster and will save you 100`s of hours playing the game.

    You start the Game with a Pure Chess Rating of 100, the Achievement will unlock, as soon as you reach 1000.
    Fastest Way to achieve 1000:
    1.) Finish Tournament-Mode (3 Tournaments with 4 games/each)
    2.) After Finishing Tournament Mode, you will have a Rating between 200-290 (cannot remember the exact number).
    3.) Play Exhibition Games with Grandmaster difficulty, you play as white, AI will play with black.
    Make 1 Move (i did always e2-e4), let the Computer make a move, Press Start and offer a draw. Usually the Computer will accept.
    If the Computer is not accepting, immediately press Start again and offer a Draw again, 9 out of 10 Attempts, the CPU will accept.
    If not, restart the Match!
    4.) You will get 8-10 Point at the beginning per match, starting with Pure Chess Rating of 500, it will drop to 4 points/game, and will end with 1-2points/per game when you reach a Rating of 900
    5.) Repeat the Procedure until you hit a rating of 953, after this number, you will not get any points from a Draw!!!
    6.) Grab a Chess-Engine and beat the CPU on Grandmaster-Difficulty (You will need ±15 Games until hit 1000 Rating)

    Let me know if i need to correct something

    lfcjohnFew suggestion after grab the achievement today.

    1) Once i completed tournament mode, i select exhibition but with black chess so i can save 1 move

    2) Once I reach almost 953, i use lichess.org and select CPU as level 1, at this level, CPU tends to have the same pattern so i can memorize the step (and in average it take 15-20 steps). However, once i win around 30 rounds against CPU, even win cannot get new rating, so I choose CPU level 2 for the remaining (i'm around 985 at this point), with additional 10-15 matches against CPU level 2 the achievement unlocked.

    Strategy OneBest advice I read immediately is play as black, you can immediately offer draw and it will accept, don't have to waste time moving a piece, also much less tedious.

    When you hit the stalemate cap of 953, play against a level 100 computer and use this clip and follow the moves exactly and you will 100% of the time get an 11 move checkmate for 1-2 points a game. The game lasts ~1 minute when you memorize the moves. Here is the clip
    http://xboxclips.com/AypL/aa0f5e8d-ad09-414e-a4e4-3bb35d1626...
    When creating the local game, make sure the computer level is 100 and that you are white side so you move first.
    Using this method you should be able to get a rating of 996 (this number may vary for you, it may even be as low as 983) you cannot earn points on level 100 computers anymore. You will have to beat a level 1000 computer until you get to a 1000 rating. The chess solver I used was www.nextchessmove.com
    A lot faster than doing ~15 level 1000 games.
