My dad said he'd allow me to go to a tournament but he said if I win I HAVE TO GIVE HIM THE PRIZE FUND because he's paying for it.

So I wanna scam him into thinking I lost when I actually won so I can collect the prize fund secretly. I'm really underrated so I have a really good chance at it.

But what actually happens when you win a prize fund? Do you just collect it from the arbiter after the game? Or is there a whole ceremony I have to sneak off to?

Why would you have to give him the entire prize shouldn’t you just have to pay him back for the entry fee?

Because he has to pay for the hotel ig

I mean if you’re just paying him back for what he paid for the tournament that makes sense if he wants you to give him all the prize money, even more than he paid that’s not fair

That's what my parents do lmao, just don't worry about money ig, I don't win money much more than I win money anyways so

It doesn't matter I'm gonna steal it anyway. So how do you collect the prize fund? Can I do it without him noticing?

I’d assume if it was like a big tournament there would be some kind of ceremony but idk

You've won prize funds before, do you know what happens? I'm really hoping it's just a guy in a room who gives me cash

Idk how I can go to a ceremony without him noticing. Maybe if I say there's an extra game and I don't want him watching it because he distracts me or smth

Im from US so idk how it works in UK, but normally you just go to like the TD room and they give you a check or cash or mobile payment. If its like a really big prize, you might have to fill out tax forms lol.

Best just tell your parents tho

chesssblackbelt

I don't think we have tax forms in UK so this sounds good actually. I'm gonna do it lmao

I'm gonna pretend to be so sad after every game I win 💀

Do you think this would work if there's a ceremony?

The plan is getting a bit elaborate idk

He doesn't know anything about chess, he won't know where to look

No it's otb

OP, you are truly a despicable, arrogant person. I hope your dad gets wise to your plan and stops you from entering any tournaments until you are an adult. You are morally bankrupt and repugnant.

chesssblackbelt

Oh

But am I morally bankrupt and repugnant in a likeable way
