How Important Is Online Presence for Modern Chess Players?

Hi everyone,
I’ve been wondering how much an online presence affects a chess player’s growth and opportunities today. With so many players streaming, posting analyses, or sharing games on platforms and social media, visibility seems to play a growing role alongside actual skill.

Do you think maintaining an online presence helps players get noticed, find coaching opportunities, or connect with sponsors? I’ve found that having a professional website can make a big difference in showcasing achievements and content.

no.

Board presence = important, online presence = not important
