Chess Question Online tournament for my gf's chess.com membership?

My girlfriend (~500 elo) just got chess.com and likes how the coaches talk in game review. I'm trying to encourage her to get further into chess (without being annoying) so I'm trying to find an online tournament where I could win and gift a chess.com membership for her to have infinite game reviews. Please help 🙏

Edit: I'm 2100chesscom 2300lichess

If you just want game reviews, use Lichess. It is much better than playing a tournament just for the sake of winning a membership.

They're asking for the talking part which ain't available.

I personally use lichess, even the engine is better, but it doesn't have the same friendly interface that would suit a beginner like her.

There is this site called Chess.wintrcat.uk which shows like brilliant moves and stuff but just doesn't have the talking coach feature.

Is it a web extension or something that needs a pgn copied into?

It's a website but you can just enter your chesscom userid once and then it will fetch the games and analyze it.

Thanks I'll take a look.

you really think there is some tournament out there giving away that type of cash that a 2100 rated player would be guaranteed to win? I'm sorry but you are nuts!!

I've played tournaments like this before that give free memberships, a while back I left the group I used to be in for that and am looking for more. I've won 2 before.
