Hi there
Iv'e apparently got chess.com points but what on earth are they for. Are they going to help me get into tournaments or are they just pointless?
Please can somebody help me.
They indicate to everyone how involved you are with the community. You get points when you post in the forums, blog, etc.
For tournament eligibility see here. http://www.chess.com/tournaments/help.html
Ok thanx. So are they just rating points or can you use them in some way?
I show my mom how many I have so she knows how cool I am, s'what I use them for.
Member points are not ratings. They do not have anything to do with your chess playing.
Other members use them to see how involved you are in the community. They are not used for anything else.
