What chess rating qualifies for pro?

In Chess, a player typically needs to achieve a rating of 2500 or higher to be considered a grandmaster (GM), which is the highest title awarded by FIDE, the international chess federation. While there isn't a strict rating that qualifies someone as a "professional," players with ratings above 2400 often compete in high-level tournaments and can make a living from chess. Additionally, many professional players hold titles such as International Master (IM) or GM, which are associated with high ratings.
