blackfirestorm666 for point president!  Very impressive!! 

when a player "claims a draw" does that player only get the points? or do both players? ..is there any advantage for the person who does the actual "claim draw" action?

[COMMENT DELETED]

No.

Yes.

No.

It depends mostly on ratings difference. If one person has a highe rrating than the other then yes there are a few points lost to the higher rated player

at 1,000 points i get you a free t-shirt (as long as they are not achieved through spammy methods)

UPDATE => Nov 11 2008 - we do NOT give out free shirts anymore (we did this for a few weeks and stopped in 2007).

Harder to monitor if people are spamming when there are more members!

Can anyone post a breakdown of points per chess.com submission? Thanks!

1 post in a forum = 1 point

How do I get points...I call Erik's home phone number, and here it is:

555-38455-25-106986 (chess-is-awsome)!

According to erik, some are worth more than others. the kinds of contributions that are more meaningful (articles, etc) are worth more.

So, I think someone should be able to post the different values.

I'll be so lucky.....

What about 1,000,000 points?

You get points by posting just as you did here ^^

Hmm if I get 4,000 points, can I get fries with that? 

I AM  ON MY WAY===

Great! is time to get some points :D

I AM ON MY WAY TO 1000 POINTS
