I'm a chess nerd and proud of it. I already have a chess t-shirt from the Kasparov vs. The World game played online in the MSN Gaming Zone back in 1999.

Thanks for this post, am also new and was wondering about the points, glad I got my unasked question answered, and that I got to read a whole bunch of comments that were pretty funny as well

did anyone think that placing a post on this would get you points. also i suppose you don't want to start bribing people. people should contribute to forums not just to get a t-shirt but to say what they want to say and what they want other people to read.

im going to cash in on the conversation now i know how to recieve points and recieve my 3rd point :P

Well... I suppose we should post not just for the sake of posting where the meaning is gone, but more of to share our chess experiences with our fellow enthusiasts! =)

Ah now that's a very good idea, I think shadowc has something there, but saying "the first member to get there" will simply prompt some spammy-spammer spamheads to unleash their swords of misery! Maybe any member over their time at Chess.com  who accumulates 5000 points?

Can u get points for recruiting more members?

 great suggestion. i'll look into that!

Oh sweet, a chess.com t-shirt is awesome, 1000pts is my goal!! 

 

hahaha, and all of a sudden, a number next to your name has significant meaning!  Do you feel powerful?  Great thread.

i thought u get points when u win matches.....do we???

 

OK, let's get it, but I'm 1000 far away of 1000, but one it's the begining.

 

hey, a t shirt is good enough for me, maybe the chess set would mean more if the first one to 5000pts or seomthing would get one! 

Hi Erick, the real question is, how do you calculate theses points, using what formula?

I have seen, that I won 60 points by beat a game, but after a week, i saw that my opponent play some more games, and just won 24 or 251 in other game. Why? 

What is the exact metrics to know how much points i will earn if I win the current game?

 Thanks.

Dalsom.
