Awards are a fun way to congratulate your opponent on a good game, a good move, or just for fun!
There are two kinds of awards you can send someone: Badges, and Cheers. These awards are sent in different ways.
Badges
Badges are game-related awards, and must be sent from within a game!
Open a game from your archive and click on Send Award under the Info tab to send that player an award for that game!
Depending on your browser window size, you may have to scroll down to see the Send Award option.
Awards sent in this way are game-related such as Good Game and Pawn Magician and many others.
Cheers
If you want to send someone an award just to say hi, apologize, or for any reason unrelated to a specific game, you'll need to take a different route:
Go to the profile of the member, click on More and select Give Award
Select the Cheer you want to send and click Send Award
You can also send a cheer by clicking on a member's username anywhere on the site, then clicking More, and selecting Give Award from the menu.
How to see your 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!
