Sorry for my bad Eng 🥲🥲

I've recently gotten into chess, and I have some favorite chess players! But I've never actually seen the game, instead I've watched it online. I don't know how I can enter stadium to watch chess player's games. I really don't have any information.

So I wanna ask, how can I get informations about tournaments that I can enters to watch games? Also, Is it rude to ask for an autograph? Would they get upset when I asked for an autograph?

It would be so nice if you guys give me some helpful information!!

Except for world championships, tournaments are not usually set up for spectators. Chess requires great concentration and so interrupting the players during the games would not be allowed. When world championships or other events are set up to allow spectators, tickets are advertized before-hand.

But if you can find a tournament near where you live, there's normally no reason you can't visit it. You can quietly watch.
