in #hive-15728611 months ago

Dear chess fans!

Welcome in 2024!
Round 3 of Season 17 "x4" is played this Friday, 5th Jan. 2024, at the usual time.
The current standings after the first two rounds you can find here.

Mode: 3+1 (3 minutes per game, 1 sec. increment), 9 rounds Swiss tournament!

Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/swiss/xHVu5Buo


The prize pool contains already app. 180 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 maybe Chess960 (Fischer Random).
  • 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 3 games must have been played.
  • In case 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 10 rounds are summed up. 65% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the prize pool (PP). Each of the 4 rating-tiered tournament winners will get "x" Hive (at least 10), the runner-up "y" and the third "z" Hive (depending on the no. of players in each group). The rest of the PP is divided among all other players according to the number of tournament points achieved (70%) and the number of rounds played (30%). In order to qualify for a prize you have to participate in at least five of the 10 rounds!
  • There will be a special prize of 5 Hive for the player with the highest tournament performance in relation to his rating.
  • LEO prizes will be funded by @leofinance, detailes to be confirmed
  • If I don´t know your Hive username, you won´t be considered for prices, so please let me know your Hive name in the comments! Community or badge accounts can participate but are not qualified for prices! Only individuals can get prices.

By now we know also who will play in the 2024 candidates tournament where the challenger of Ding Liren will be determined. These are the candidates:

Who will make it? In 2023 Fabiano was definitely playing close or at his peak, I guess he will succeed. What do you think?
