i got nothing
what do i get if i win a tournament?
Winning a chess tournament can come with a variety of rewards, depending on the event! For smaller, local tournaments, you might win a trophy or medal, along with a cash prize or gift cards. For larger, more prestigious tournaments, especially those with international recognition, you could walk away with much bigger cash prizes, chess-related merchandise, and even sponsorship deals. Additionally, winning can significantly boost your ranking and reputation in the chess community, which can lead to more invitations to competitive events, possibly even a chance to go pro! Some tournaments might also offer things like scholarships or opportunities to play in elite leagues. Do you have a particular tournament in mind, or are you just getting into competitive chess?

i always thought there was some sort of prize when you win a tournament here --- if none then what's the point just continue to play reg chess matches and apply those wins to your rankings -- since tournament play does not affect anything it seems -- why waste the energy then --- is there something i am missing ???? maybe a good reason to play
My stats don't consider the tournaments I am playing
