Hello everybody. I have started my little career from being a chess player (not that I want to go full-time). I have won maybe around 200-250 dollars from when I started (Feb or March) - Right now. But I have started to explore new chess sites where I can play and earn money from the money prizes. Is there any good chess sites you would recommend ? I already know these chess sites: Chessforall.com, kingregistration.com, Mechanics Tourenmnts, Chess Katz and International Academy. Some of them have flaws such as Chessforall.com being packed with very strong people that also seems to beat me at the 1200 section or the 1100 section. ing registration has two good sites included which are International Academy and Chess Katz but everything else needs you to be in a certain state or you have to travel to that place in person. Mechanics Tournaments are great but the sections that are there are mostly opens with grandmasters and that's great and all for improvement but when you are trying to get money, not so great. So, are there any good chess sites you recommend ? Tell me please !!

Lichess has some pretty good tournaments, and you can sign up for the USCF rated ones. As for ICC, I frequently play there as well, although much stronger players are usually paired against me. In addition, the chess24 website link is "https://chess24.com/en" . Although I have not used it, it seems quite decent.
