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

RULES

  • Registration fee was 10 Hive (registration is closed). 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%).

remind that I consider variants with 960 to be modern classical chess,
I suggest 1/2+10=960
@rodrook @anomadsoul @vasigo @sawko
disagree and write your options right here in advance, otherwise the players slowed down in the last rounds

A 1/2+10 can well last 20 minutes - this will screw up the schedule!

there is a margin for 42 moves, while between all the games I hung out for a long time and observed the lack of mutual understanding

I had played a few 960 games just to try, but I didn't find myself in the. So, I'd like to play classical, if you agree.

Yes, this is the most desirable option in the 960 hypertournament, but what about my time offer?
