Awards on Chess.com
Awards are a fun way to congratulate your opponent on a good game, a great move, or just for fun!
Awards can only be sent on the Chess.com website, not through the mobile apps. However, you can still use your mobile browser to send awards.
Badges
Badges are game-related awards, such as 'Good Game' or 'Pawn Magician,' and must be sent from within a game. To send a badge:
Open a completed game from your Game History.
Click the 'Info' tab on the right sidebar and select 'Send Award.'
Depending on your browser size, you may need to scroll down to find this option.
Choose the badge you want and click 'Send.'
Cheers
Cheers are awards you can send outside of a game, such as to say hello, apologize, or send encouragement. To send a cheer:
Go to the profile of the member you want to cheer.
Click the three dots in the top-right corner of their profile and select 'Award.'
Pick the cheer you’d like to send, add a message if you want (optional), and click 'Send Award.'
How do I see my Badges and Cheers?
Hover over 'Home' on the left side of the screen and select 'Awards.' Here, you'll find your achievements, trophies, badges, and cheers listed!
