Dear chess fans!

The prize pool contains already >2015 Hive!

Rules

  • All players are welcome, also newbies, you just need a free Lichess-account and join our team in Lichess here (password is "Hive")!
  • Every Friday is one round.
  • Time mode is varying (5+0, 3+2, 2+1,...), sometimes Swiss, sometimes Chess960 (Fischer Random, "Freestyle" chess).
  • The winner of each round gets the number of points equaling the number of players in that round, the second ranked one point less and so forth until the one on the bottom of the table who gets one point (i.e. the Lighteye-scoring). In order to be counted, at least 4 games must have been played.
  • If two players have the same number of points, the one who played less rounds is first. If that is equal too, then the average tournament performance decides.
  • PAYOUT: The tournament points of the 12 rounds are summed up. Each of the 4 rating-tiered tournament winners will get "x" Hive (at least 80), the runner-up "y" and the third "z" Hive (depending on the no. of players in each group). The rest of the prize pool is divided among all other players according to the number of tournament points achieved (60%) and the number of rounds played (40%). In order to qualify for a prize you have to participate in at least six of the 12 rounds!
  • If I don´t know your Hive username, you won´t be considered for prizes, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments!

Please share this announcement among your (chess) friends and colleagues!
The more participate, the more fun! And maybe some are even interested to join Hive and it´s Chess Community?

See you all on Friday and good luck!

That's great 👍
I'm glad I took part, even though I didn't win a single game. I was close several times, but my nerves got the better of me 😁. But one day that won't be the case, and I'll keep training without fear.

Congratulations to all the champions 🤗🌹
