Subject: Feature Suggestion: Exclusive Avatar System for Tournament Winners
---
Dear Chess.com Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to suggest a new feature that I believe could greatly enhance user experience, competition, and identity expression on your platform — an exclusive avatar reward system available only to official Chess.com tournament winners.
Core Idea:
This system would allow only the top 3 players of official leagues or cups to receive unique avatars automatically assigned by Chess.com. These avatars:
Cannot be purchased or selected manually
Are not available to premium users
Represent prestige, skill, and verified achievement
Example (Squid Game theme):
1st place: Player #456 (Seong Gi-hun)
2nd place: Player #218 (Cho Sang-woo)
3rd place: Player #001 (Oh Il-nam)
This would provide a new motivation to compete and a clear visual distinction for top-performing players.
Additional Benefits:
Encourages healthy competition
Adds privacy options (no real photo required)
Prevents inappropriate custom profile images
Enables fun collaborations (e.g., popular series, cultural icons)
Creates a sense of honor and exclusivity
Future Goals to Strengthen the System:
Seasonal Avatar Themes (e.g., superheroes, chess legends, anime)
Ranked Frame Borders to highlight achievement visually
Avatar History Section in player profiles
Team or Country-Specific Avatars during national competitions
This concept would celebrate skill over status, make profiles safer and more engaging, and offer an exciting new reason for players to join tournaments regularly.
Thank you for considering this idea. I would be happy to provide visuals, help with concept development, or give feedback if the idea moves forward.
Warm regards,
