Why do you want points?
how do i earn points and what are they for

once you collect enough points you can go to the 'who gives a crap' store on chess.com and buy a pile of 'worthlessness'. it costs about 1000 points.

Yay!

It just measures your participation until you hit 1000. After that, you get a monthly credit of your points in cents - 1000 earns $10, for instance. You have to have made at least 10 posts in any month to earn it, though - no slackers around here!
Of course, you have to spend the credits in the store here, or with one of their "online partners," but it's free so who cares? There are several people getting $50+ every month, it's very cool.
If there's a discrepancy in your account, just contact support, they are really helpful and actually "here" most of the time.
is this for serious yo?

And if you're good enough to start a topic that blows up, you can collect a penny a post per month in the thread once it reaches 500 posts.
Kurogkug is the best and makes about $12 every month now with just that one thread of his.

Cool. I have 3 points. So, I have play 24/7, then I get max points, then maybe 3000 pts soon enough, so I can go to the store and buy worthless stuff, then start over. I get the point.
