Uhh. I play on my tablet. I haven't seen trophies on here. I have heard a lot about trophy rewards on forums but that's the most I know about trophies. Are trophies not available for IOS chess.com? Someone please tell me.

You currently need to be on the website for trophies. There are a few different kinds:

  • Site given ones like Welcome to Chess.com and yearly anniversary ones.
  • Tournament trophies, both standard ones for Live and Daily, and custom ones for some Daily tourneys (if the TD creates them).
  • Fun trophies. These can be sent for any reason and are avaiable to send on a player's profile or from a completed game.

What is the purpose of these trophies?

You put them on your mantelpiece and tell visitors that you got these from Chess.com for winning 500 player tournaments.

Depends on the kind but the tournament ones are a record of accomplishment and the others are just social in nature.

Tournament trophies are the proofs that you played really well in the tournament :)

Fun trophies are just for fun. :)

there's a trick for mobile or tablet - you go to tournaments, click "daily" and then that'll bring you to the current "daily tournament" place that looks exactly like the one on the website.

then there'll be a three-bar thing in the top left corner -  click that and then it is like the sidebar that is exactly like the one on the website.

Or just click on a link in the app

It wasn't designed for that really and comes with it's own problems.

Are there still trophies for daily tournaments even if the TD does not make custom ones?
