In recent years, it has become increasingly difficult for an amateur chess player to earn an income from chess alone. Despite the obsession with chess, it's best not to invest too much time in it, or you may get half the effort. I was addicted to chess for three years from 2017 to 2019, playing about 30 games a day. The frequent alternation of wins and losses affects the mood and wastes a lot of valuable time.
Even if you win the championship in a county-level competition, the prize money is only about 2,000 yuan, and the third place is only about 500 yuan, which is really pitiful. And making money through live chess has become an option, and many amateur chess player streamers can earn a certain amount of income by using chess software to broadcast live. However, with a large number of professional chess players entering the field of live streaming, the competitive pressure and income of amateur chess player streamers have been affected. From amateur players to professional players to streamers, the competition in the field of live chess is becoming increasingly fierce.
In general, making money on chess is not an easy task, so it is not advisable to overindulge in it. If an amateur chess player wants to gain a place in the chess field, he or she needs to carefully weigh the effort and the gain, so as not to lose more than he gains.
