(no title)

I don't think so. They aren't a master because of a chess slave. It's a title earned in a "fair" championship, as opposed to a title of ownership/dominion over the defeated players.

Another parallel would be a master's degree (there is no slave's degree), given to someone that attained knowledge in a field (as opposed to "enslaving" the knowledge).

Chess master literally dominates most if not all ranked players below master level.
