Reminder: Round 3 of the Hivechess Tournament S19 , Friday 19h GMT

in #hive-1572862 months ago

Dear chess fans!

Round 3 of season 19 is played tomorrow, 20th Sep 2024, at the usual time.
The current standings after the first two rounds you can find here.

This time we will switch to Chess960 (Fischer Random)!

Mode: 4+2 (4 minutes per game, 2 sec. increment), 70 min. Chess960 arena

Tournament Link: https://lichess.org/tournament/A58hyjbX


The prize pool contains already app. 167 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 12 rounds are summed up. 65% of all Hivechess-related post rewards go to the prize pool (PP). Each of the 3 rating-tiered tournament winners will get "x" Hive (at least 50), 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 (50%) and the number of rounds played (50%). 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 tomorrow and good luck!

Greetings @stayoutoftherz ,

Thank you for letting us know!

This is excellent news.

Kind Regards,

Bleujay

are you planning to participate?

Thank you for your kind query @stayoutoftherz ,

No....

I am an appreciator of Chess but not good enough to play....I am very happy to see it thriving here at Hive. Thank you!

Cheers, Bleujay

"Thriving" is a bit exaggerating, typically 20 Hivers gather and it is below the radar of whales´ upvoting support (they prefer to burn Hive than to foster the prize fund). Anyway, happy to continue with this, as it is fun.

Yes...please do.

If you need a contribution ...please let me know.

Yes..I knew the word 'thriving' was a bit of a stretch....however I do wish you all the best....and wouldn't it be lovely if you could make something of the Chess Community without the assistance of Whales....That would be smashing!

Is @jaki01 a part of this endeavour....if not perhaps he would be interested.

Cheers, Bleujay

He is aware, but due to the time zone difference, it is quite late for him to join.

That should be funny) 960 in blitz mode is always funny)

chess 960 is fun - nice time format as well
last post I promoted via ecency points on ecency frontend and will do this one as well - maybe we can add more participants

@stayoutoftherz I was thinking about arranging chess960 tournament with 1 + 1 or 2 + 1 time mode with rewards for top 5 players (hive and some ecency points) to add more competitiveness
what do you think about idea? If enough people participate to make it once a month or every second week

Great idea! The more chess on Hive the better! In the past we had up to 3 tournaments at the same time (Friday, Sat. and Sunday). I will fully support it!

thats great
as my schedule gets more comfortable and certain I will try to arrange tournament

Looking forward to it!!
