Hi guys,

I've been here for some time but still don't know how you get/win points that is displayed on your profile. I mean I have been here long enough but how do I have just 29 points? Is it that you have to play tourneys or team matches to get those?

Points are an objective measure of your worth as a member of the chess community! At least, until you encounter someone with more than yourself. Then they're meaningless.

I was wondering if it had to to something with tournaments or team matches. But yeah, thanks.
