​You don't have to be a top player to earn rewards on EdChess. Even if you're just getting started, there are several ways to earn.

1. Skill-based leagues. After the first half of each tournament, players are placed into Gold, Silver, or Bronze leagues. That means you compete against players at your level, not just the strongest ones.

2. Luck League for rare board owners. In Free Tournaments, you can earn extra rewards based on your board's luck stat. The higher your board's luck, the bigger your potential rewards.

3. Leaderboards that aren't just about winning. Some game modes reward more than victories. For example, you can earn points just by staying active and playing games.

4. Puzzle rewards. Solve chess puzzles, complete the Puzzle Pass, claim daily rewards, and work your way toward bigger prizes at the end.

5. Collectibles. Collect fragments and rare boards, grow your inventory, and get ready for the upcoming marketplace, where you'll be able to sell them.

There isn't just one way to earn rewards on EdChess. Some players win tournaments, some climb the leaderboards, some build valuable collections, and others solve puzzles every day. Pick the path that fits the way you like to play.

One more thing: rare boards already give you an advantage across every activity on EdChess. They always mean better earning potential and bigger rewards.

There are plenty of ways to earn while playing the game you love on EdChess, even if you're just a casual player.
