RE: Don´t miss the final round of the Hivechess Tournament S17 this Friday!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I am a newbie in HIVE and a chess novice so weight my recommendations accordingly :)
- As a novice I like it split, as it gives something to aim for.
- maybe we could have two different tournaments for serious players and casual. round level limitation can be kept for the serious bracket.
- I loved the idea of more HBD for the pool. It will allow you to do ad hoc stuff in synch with other communities for eg.
I have two more suggestions to look into if it makes sense,
- Have a long cycle of correspondence chess for people interested. I am happy to run it for the group if needed. we can keep it at 3 days a move. Prize for such can just be pride in table and some basic tokens. Don't want to keep it high prize as people might use engines etc. and it is ok in spirit of trying for best move in correspondence.
- Timings of the tournaments are a bit too late for Asia. I appreciate that most people might find the current timings good. Any possibility for causal players to have at different timings too, like the two titled tuesdays that happen in chess.com to accomodate timezones.
Just some thoughts. we can think of it for future.
Finally @stayoutoftherz thank you very much, and anyone directly supporting you, to make this happen. I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this chess club and looking forward to future activities.
Cheers :)

Thanks! I am not so familiar with correspondence chess. In Lichess I think there is no way to run a tournament with this format. You would need to set it up all manually, for me this is too time consuming, but I add a question who would be interested in this, to get a first hint about the interest for such an event!
Maybe tournament itself might be too big a word. Basically thinking of creating a league if anyone is interested just for bragging rights. Personally interested as the longer timeframes will allow me to learn chess a bit better :) Let me work on it on the side and come back to all here with a proposal. One-one matches can always happen between club members today too, but a league style will be very interesting to follow :)
Thank you for adding the question. You are right, best to get interest first :)
Yes, I can this quite well as an ongoing thing. Whenever two players agree on a corresponding match, they could arrange this game by themselves and report the game and the outcome here in the comments (or in the Lichess team chat). I can track all the games in a separate table, I guess there won´t be that much updates per week, as the games take months. So once in a while I can post the standing in the table. But if you prefer you can do it as well, as it is your idea!
Yes I can help. but lets gauge the interest. If not enough interest I will try and first evangelize the version :)
mark me interested :-)
I just checked, one can create games in lichess without time constraints, lichess even tags them "correspondence".
have not tried it yet but willing to give the concept a go.
Wanna go for a test run? My lichess nick is hannes-stoffel there, too
Cool. Let me set up a game to check it out and we can then plan for league to start in Mar.
@hannes-stoffel you should get my challenge. Just set a casual one with 2 days limit per move. we can try it out for a few days and in parallel we can draft a call to action. I remain @brijwhiz on lichess too.
Ok, I entered the game.
