A report prepared by Bartłomiej Macieja for the ACP mentions discussion at the FIDE congress of 2008 regarding perceived decrease in value of the grandmaster title.[18][19] The number of grandmasters had increased greatly between 1972 and 2008, but according to Macieja,[18] the number of registered players rated over 2200 had increased even faster. Since that FIDE congress, discussion of the value of the grandmaster title has occasionally continued.[20]
