Crazyhouse Tournament #2 on Hive: @maestroask and @pokerarema were the winners

in #hive-1572862 years ago

Dear chess fans,

yesterday a Hivechess fun tournament was played, a 3+2 Crazyhouse arena!
12 players joined the competition, for some of which it was the very first experience with this chess variant! Welcome to @hannes-stoffel, @awesomeintrigue (zackawesome) and @jesustiano to chess on Hive!

This picture (made with Midjourney) is just to distract and confuse you 😀!

Back to business. No surprise that the winner was the only titled player in the field, @maestroask (Odnoobraz_bcm). Best untitled player and second winner was - somewhat unexpected - @pokerarema (ragnarokgame) with a rock solid performance! I landed on rank 3, followed by @rodrook (who demolished me in a game) and also a strong playing @tin.aung.soe. Congrats to All!

Until then, have a nice time and keep practicing!

Before you go, I have 2 questions for you, please let me know your preference in the comments:

1: Do you want to have chess variants like chess960 or crazyhouse included in the next season?
2: Do you want to have again a knockout stage in the next season or a "normal" one?

I ask because I feel there are some downsides to a knockout stage which might outweigh the positive aspects.

Well I know it's just an AI art piece BUT! That woman looks like she already knows the next move of the opponent... Love it!!

It's actually somewhat inspiring... Giving me ideas for art pieces over here!!

All the best to the players participating in that tournament 👍 and also thanks to you for sharing such an amazing picture to distract me 😉

1: Do you want to have chess variants like chess960 or crazyhouse included in the next season?

Chess960 is good bc it's a variant of the "normal" game, just pieces in different places so I think it's ok. On the other hand, crazyhouse is way too different, I'd prefer to play it sporadically and not while participating in tournaments.

2: Do you want to have again a knockout stage in the next season or a "normal" one?

I'm fine with both tbh.

Hope you guys had a great time!

Btw @stayoutoftherz, what should I put here to join the team?

  1. 960 & Crazy: yes and YES !!!
  2. My concerns about the knockout stage is possible efects on the attendant.
  3. Some wins are hard to come by but I enjoy a win even if it's CRAZY!

Now I know, why you like 960. Look, what I just detected:
This is from my 960 stats:

Haven't been able to reach 1500, my highest rating is 1497.
but I have some high rated wins.

Back to the Business, I preferred a "normal" season.

Great work promoting chess @stayoutoftherz

That crazy house mode is actually crazy, haha. So many times my brain broke trying to figure out variations that I made so many silly mistakes while focusing on that part. It was really fun but I have to say @maestroask, please man, go easy on us sometimes, haha.

  1. Sure I'd like to explore other modes too.

  2. I'm not sure what you mean by normal here, never participated before.

Thank you, it was a lot of fun.

Looking forward to participating in the season.

My answers to your questions: spicing it up with different variants would be welcomed if it does not take over, a season/league should be focused on chess at its intended format.

The problem with a knockout phase is that some people (including me, hehehe) become pure bystanders pretty fast once that phase is reached so I would prefer normal league mode until the end.

Thank you for your witness vote!

Did you know that <a href='https://dcity.io/cityyou can use BEER at dCity game to buy cards to rule the world.

I would love to learn more about this chess game and how its played.
Also nice one with the Image from MJ lol

Sure, go to lichess.org and try „learn“. There are many lessons starting from the very basics.

I love this crazyhouse variant, it could be fun to include a couple of rounds. As to the structure of the tournament, I am not sure tbh.

Good luck to hivers participating in this tournament. I've watched Queen Gambit but ain't Good at Chess... That Picture Got me tho!

Congratulations!

That image is stunning. I have to keep scrolling, otherwise I would get locked up in her eyes... and I'm a hapily married man.

Wow! I missed this (I'm just not available these days, But I'm working on it), congratulations to the winners.

@stayoutoftherz would crazy house finally be added in our season's event?

That´s why I asked the preference (read until the end of the post). What´s your preference?

1: Do you want to have chess variants like chess960 or crazyhouse included in the next season?

Chess960 YES, that is a good training. Crazyhouse NO, it is too crazy and not much useful for training.

2: Do you want to have again a knockout stage in the next season or a "normal" one?

Maybe it would be better to simply split tournament after the qualifying stage into the Top 8 tournament, and the Challengers tournament. Finals should be 4 rounds, Swiss system. But that is only my opinion.

Thanks for organizing this tournament.

Regarding the questions, I have no special preferences. Chess variants do not replace chess itself, but they are interesting in their own way. If tournaments are held on them, I will play. It's the same with the knockout stage: if there is one, I will play matches, if not, tournaments.

@stayoutoftherz Chess is an exciting, fun, and highly educational game that requires a lot of attention and skills. Well, if you organize such a distinguished day, it would be very exciting. successes

Are you playing chess?

Dear @stayoutoftherz When I was young as a student, it was one of my favorite activities, long before doing yoga, now I have not practiced it for a long time, it is very interesting for intelligent people. Thanks for your visit.
