  The answer used to be Yes, via the Permanent Commission for Chess Compositions; in 2010 the Commission became the independent [World Federation for Chess Composition](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Federation_for_Chess_Composition), but "both organisations are cooperating". As was the case before 2010, there are three titles: Master, International Master, and Grandmaster, all based on the counts of problems and studies published in the [FIDE Albums](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_Album).
  
  There are also titles and ratings for chess problem solving, and a title of [International Judge of Chess Compositions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Judge_of_Chess_Compositions).
