I don't know but can it be obtained by a post in forum?
points in chess.com

The points on the profile homepage only show how active a member is on the site... you get points everytime you post a blog, forum post, add a photo album, etc .you can't do anything with them, just shows others if you are an active member on here thats all

I heard a rumor that 10,000 points from here, and three dollars will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

So does Danny Rensch get a coffee for every 10,000 words he uses in his video lectures? That would certainly explain a lot!

Actually even i want to know exactly what it means??
if any staff can reply this question.. what does the "points-shown on profile page" indicates???
I would like to know how we get points, is it by tournaments?
