If you spend a lot of time on Chess.com,  you’ve probably seen the "Good Read" award sometimes. But how exactly do you get it. Here’s a breakdown of how to get “Good Read” award.

     The good read award is a recognition for some of the best bloggers.

* ****: Your writing needs to be easy to follow. No one wants to sift through a mess of typos and confusing sentences. Keep things clear and well-organized. Content should be useful to the Chess.com community. 

### 2. **Write Blog Posts**

Blogging is one of the best ways to get  a “Good Read” award. If you want to stand out,. Here’s how:

* **Pick a Good Topic**: Focus on what interests both you and the community. Maybe dive deep into:

  * Your favorite openings and why they work

  * A personal chess journey or tournament recap

  * Reviews of chess books or videos.

* **Be Real**: Readers appreciate authenticity. Share your own experiences, even if they’re personal—whether it’s a breakthrough moment or a funny story from a game.

### 3. **Get Involved in the Forums**

The forums on Chess.com are full of conversations that can really benefit from your insight. Contributing  in these discussions can earn you the “Good Read” award as well.

* **Be Helpful**: If someone’s asking for advice or sharing a struggle, offer useful guidance. Whether it’s explaining a chess concept or giving practical tips, make sure your posts help others.

* **Stay On-Topic**: There’s a forum for almost every aspect of chess. Make sure you’re contributing to the right one, whether it’s about openings, tactics or just general chat about the game.

* **Provide Value**: Whether you’re answering questions or simply sharing your own experiences, make sure your posts add value to the discussion..

### 4. **Be Consistent**

Earning a “Good Read” award isn’t something that happens overnight. You need to consistently contribute valuable content over time.

* **Share It**: Post your blogs or forum discussions on social media. You never know who might find your content useful.

Ps. I still need it 😃
