Please post your result after the game in the Lichess team chat (typically only the winner posts).

RULES

  • Registration fee was 10 Hive (registration is closed, but you can register already for the next HCT!). At the end of the tournament you will get it back unless:
  • Not showing up at one tournament day forfeits not only the games of that day (i.e. counted as losses), but also 2 Hive of your registration fee (missing one game only costs 0,5 Hive)
  • Every Friday 4 to 5 rounds are played, every 15 minutes, according to the schedule announced in the reminder posts; showing not up within 5 minutes forfeits the game
  • The player with the White pieces always starts the game
  • The time mode is 5+1. Players can agree upfront to a different (time) format (e.g. 3+2 Chess 960), but the game should not take more than 15 minutes!
  • Please post all your results in the team chat
  • The winner of each match gets 1 point, a draw gives half a point, all points are summed up and the player with the highest total score is the champion
  • In case two players have the same number of points, the direct match(es) count. In case this is draw, the one with the more wins scores higher. In case this is equal too, the Neustadtl Sonneborn–Berger score will be applied.
  • PAYOUT: 70% of all tournament-related post rewards (and the penalties of missing participations) go to @chesspricepool. The tournament winner will get 30 Hive, the runner-up 10 and the rest of the PP is divided among all players equally (50%) and according to the number of tournament points achieved (50%).

How to challenge a player and kick off a game?

4.Once all is set correctly, click on the White king, to start the challenge. As soon as your opponent accepts the challenge, the game starts.

See you tomorrow and Good luck to All!

This is interesting!...
If only I could play Chess.
Chess players are always considered smart. I'm not really sure why. The game have just been really strange to me.

Well, at least I know there's a king and Queen right?🙈🙈

chess players simply have the ability to concentrate, a side effect is to be stupid longer than just stupid
