If you are a U.S. chess player that is at least expert level or above, you can make residual income at playing street chess. Another way is to play unrated sections at tournaments, where we get the term 'sandbagger' that implies you are a strong player looking to scoop up some winnings against lower rated players. But that can be a mixed bag, as you may run into some masters who are doing the same thing! But all in all, you want to stay away from big tournaments, as there is way too much competition to win anything significant. If you do play at tournaments, you want to play at smaller venue tournaments. And although you won't win big prize money at them, you have greater chances of winning something. I hope that I have been helpful. :o)
