We all are the sponsers, by bringing in our time to play with (against) others.
And yes i pay to chess.com for improvements and maintanment of this site so i can enjoy it, like other pay for there local chessclubs for the rent of the building.

Sponsers for a tournament are there sometimes, offering memberships of the site, but most tours are for fun!

Anyway i hope to beat you all, never reached first place in a tour, but sure wanna reach it ones. But seen most ratings in this tour, i'll gues this tour also passes my winnings, but sure win some experians.

Best of luck all Wink
