How do I get "Points"?

Hello Fritzel,
I live in the UK and I am 100% English,with a little bit of Irish in me.
If you need to improve your English send me a e-mail and we can start from there.
My e-mail address is as follows: robin.casey2009@yahoo.co.uk,we can chat generally whilst you improve your English. OK?
Best wishes, UK. chess_guy.

I think we should earn points by playing chess and analyzing the games that we play!!!! Just a suggestion.

Why doesn't Chess Mentor affect my rating? In addition, every so often, my rating jumps up about 400 points and then resumes its old level after a couple games. The endgame message says minus nine points, so I don't think that's the problem. Where should I go for help?

Hey! I have 2 points! Didn't even know what they were.
Can I really win a chess.com T-shirt? Skip the car and board. I want a chess.com T-shirt! V neck, please.

Not anymore, read #3.

how are tiebreaker points determined?
It is the number of points everybody you defeted have, plus half the points of the people you draw.

some are worth more than others. the kinds of contributions that are more meaningful (articles, etc) are worth more.
at 1,000 points i get you a free t-shirt (as long as they are not achieved through spammy methods)
UPDATE => Nov 11 2008 - we do NOT give out free shirts anymore (we did this for a few weeks and stopped in 2007).
Nooooooooo!

Can they come back(free shirts)
PLEASE
Play as many games you can and try to be a winner; then your rating will go up. Also by practising on tactics and your chess mentor.

Wow, a Chess.com T-shirt! That's even better than a Ferrari!
You'd better print that shirt already, since I'm only 984 points away from 1000 points! (983 now!)
