As chess players we all know how he feels.JOY.CONFIDENCE that he can win more tournaments.


        Shouldn't chess.com give prize money to encourage him.He may get exited and just...you know,buy the membership to get tactic trainer puzzles or chess mentor.

That would defeat the purpose of a lot of things.

No, Chess should remain a "game".

Once you start paying people to play, the "game" spirit is gone.

Exactly.

No, No.

Not at all.

i am talking about turn based tournaments

some friends was playing poker  without any money involved and everybody was happy.
they decided to play poker with a few dollars suddenly some of them  got angry at the smallest mistake that they usually would laugh over and the friendly environment was gone.
I think the same would happen to turned based chess and it would be even more important to monitor all games to make sure noone would try to use illegal methods to win.

instead it would be much better to have a little trophy send or the possibility to print a diploma that you have won.

Its ok to explore the thought, but Where should this money come from??? What do you think OP?  If you want to win some prize money playing people at your level would your father  put up the money to back you?   just think, the time you spend making post, you could be playing some one or studying chess to improve! Just think about thatSurprised Although your thoughts are a little creative and shows you like to think, good sign of a future great chess player!!!Cool What is wrong with my post? The use of word  "think" over used!? lolo
